“Millions of people are joined in the knowledge that writing brings insight and calm in the same way that prayer, meditation, or a long walk in the woods does. They have discovered that writing allows the racing mind to move at the pace of pen and paper or the pace of typing on the waiting screen - that journal writing is a spiritual practice.” PeopleWayWritingMindLongDoeSpiritualMovingWaitingPrayerWalksPracticeMillionsMeditationPaperCalmInsightWoodsScreensPensRacingPaceJournalSpiritual PracticeTypingLong WalksJournal WritingWalk In The Woods Author:Christina Baldwin
“By work alone, men may get to where Buddha got largely by meditation or Christ by prayer. Buddha was a working Jnani, Christ was a Bhakta, but the same goal was reached by both of them.

“After sleeping through a hundred million centuries we have finally opened our eyes on a sumptuous planet, sparkling with color, bountiful with life. Within decades we must close our eyes again. Isn’t it a noble, an enlightened way of spending our brief time in the sun, to work at understanding the universe and how we have come to wake up in it? This is how I answer when I am asked—as I am surprisingly often—why I bother to get up in the mornings.” WayLifeEyeUniverseUnderstandingSleepAnswersMorningMillionsSunMeditationCenturyColorPlanetsInspirational LifeGratitudeHundredWake UpSpendingNobleDecadesGet UpBotherEnlightenedInsightfulSparklingInspirational ChristmasSumptuousSense PerceptionUnderstanding The Universe Author:Richard Dawkins
“Meditation is one of the rare occasions when we're not doing anything. Otherwise, we're always doing something, we're always thinking something, we're always occupied. We get lost in millions of obsessions and fixations. But by meditating-by not doing anything- all these fixations are revealed and our obsessions will naturally undo themselves like a snake uncoiling itself.” ThinkingLostMillionsMeditationObsessionOccasionsSnakesMeditatingAlways ThinkingFixationRare Occasion Author:Dzongsar Jamyang Khyentse Rinpoche
“Millions of people miss meditation because meditation has taken on a wrong connotation. It looks very serious, looks gloomy, has something of the church in it, looks as if it is only for people who are dead, or almost dead, who are gloomy, serious, have long faces, who have lost festivity, fun, playfulness, celebration.... A really meditative person is playful: life is fun for him.... He enjoys it tremendously. He is not serious. He is relaxed.” PeopleIfsLooksPersonsLongFacesLife IsLostFunEnjoyChurchMillionsTakenMeditationMissingSeriousCelebrationRelaxedGloomyConnotationPlayfulnessMiss MeFestivitiesLife Is FunSerious Look Author:Rajneesh
