Immersed in life, it can be common to have a fantasy of flight and escape. But the truth is that we take our minds everywhere that we go. The only true escape and freedom lies in the cultivation of mental stillness. After lapsing over the past few years, I have recently added daily mediation back into my life. It’s like having a free spa treatment every day. Here is a direct video link.
The place that travel writer Pico Iyer would most like to go? Nowhere. In a counterintuitive and lyrical meditation, Iyer takes a look at the incredible insight that comes with taking time for stillness. In our world of constant movement and distraction, he teases out strategies we all can use to take back a few minutes out of every day, or a few days out of every season. It’s the talk for anyone who feels overwhelmed by the demands for our world.
