I’ve been thinking about meditation for some time now, thanks for all this great information.
Glad to share, Marti!
Very good tips! Keeping it clutter free is important. Otherwise you just get distracted!
That’s so true, Diane!
I would love a place in my home for meditation. As it stands, I find the best place for me to be alone with my thoughts is one the front porch, early in the morning before the kids get up and as the sun begins to rise.
That’s a great idea!
