I finally realized that quiet time, completely on my own is my meditation. Puttering in the backyard, cooking all alone in my kitchen, driving on a long familiar path with no other passenger- all of these seem to have the calm meditative effect on me....or so I think :-) Anu Hey Brigit,

I think the type of meditation you do needs to be right for you. I recently went to a philosophy talk, where the speaker asked us what the purpose/goal of meditation was. There were many answers. None of them were wrong. I think we all need to realise the importance of some form of exercise, and to generally take better care of ourselves. It isn't always easy to find the time or motivation to do it, however we found it to care for and mother our families for years. Time to find it for us.

I walk a lot, and have found over the years that walking has become a sort of meditation, listening, observing, thinking, talking. It's a nice combination.

I find I can't push myself like I used to and that I can need exercise more than ever before to keep me feeling at my best. I've never been one to meditate but, after reading your comments about Sandy MacGregor and his techniques, I'm definitely giving it a try! Thank you!!
