"No Time"

Many people, myself included, use the excuse that "I'm too busy to take the time to meditate".  

It's really the most frequent "excuse" people who don't mediate give for not doing it.

Well, as the Zen proverb in the box to the right says, we are exactly the people who should meditate - and not only should we meditate, we should meditate longer than people who are not so busy!

Most everyone these days feels there are "too few hours in the day to get everything done".  The truth is, though, we can always find time for things we truly feel are important.

So, as a first step, check out the "5-Minute Meditation" to the right.  Just 5 minutes and you can start meditating.  That's all it takes.

But read on ... you might find that you'll want to spend even more time meditation (especially if you are "really busy").

Yes, everyone has time to meditate (including "very busy people").  The real issue is that those people who don't meditate may have not come to see its true value. 

The reality, though, is that there is a direct connection between inner well-being and inner-peace and the quality and success of our actions - and even to our health and longevity!

Meditation should really be seen as a way to enhance performance by reducing stress, quieting the mind and tapping into our internal stores of energy, health, and creativity.
