Suppose you read about a pill that you could take once a day to reduce anxiety and increase your contentment. Would you take it? Suppose further that the pill has a great variety of side effects, all of them good: increased self-esteem, empathy, and trust; it even improves memory. Suppose, finally, that the pill is all natural and costs nothing. Now would you take it? The pill exists. It is meditation.
— Jonathan Haidt

Just thought of sharing this. It is very true.

very wise words. and remember guys, meditation comes in many forms) not all lotus and transcendental. although many moons ago i enjoyed the practice of transcendental, however my meditations are varied and quite diverse. as they should be. i am a turtle after all!!! and eccentric, or as my shrink says 'relatively stable'. ha!!!
