Because meditation rocks!

Topic: Are you thinking too much?

When your thought processes are tired, it doesn’t feel good. You’re not relaxed, which will gradually wear down your body and mood. You’re more likely to make a mistake or a bad decision.

We have to take a stand against the crazy mental busyness that has become the new normal.Our minds are being hauled along behind a culture without a speed limit – but the human body and brain does have a limit, a natural carrying capacity, and when we exceed it there’s always a price. (Rick Hanson)
