“My wife and I took a sabbatical and we went from Europe to India, where we lived in an ashram for six months and did meditation and yoga vigorously, like from 5:00 in the morning until 10:00 in the night in very austere circumstances. I think then my practice became less superficial, more like the traditional definition of what meditation was: to truly find oneness.” ThinkingNightPracticeMorningMeditationWifeMonthsCircumstancesSixYogaEuropeIndiaDefinitionsMy WifeTraditionalOnenessSuperficialSix MonthsMeditation And YogaSabbatical Author:Karan Bajaj
“Sleep is critical to me... at least eight or nine hours a night. I start to slow down my body and my mind at least 30 minutes before I get into bed. I don't watch any disturbing or invigorating TV at night. I also get energy from meditation practice and from eating healthy fresh food, only one cup of espresso in the morning, and not drinking too much.” MindBodyNightEnergyHoursSleepWatchesPracticeMorningToo MuchMeditationMinutesTvsHealthyBedEatingDrinkingEightCriticalNineCupsSlow DownDisturbingMeditation PracticeInvigoratingEspressoFresh FoodEating HealthyDrinking Too Much Author:Jane Fonda
“The rosy hearth, the lamplight's narrow beam, The meditation that is rather dream, With looks that lose themselves in cherished looks; The hour of steaming tea and banished books; The sweetness of the evening at an end, The dear fatigue, and right to rest attained, And worshipped expectation of the night,— Oh, all these things, in unrelenting flight, My dream pursues through all the vain delays, Impatient of the weeks, mad at the days!” LooksBookEndsDreamNightHoursLosesMeditationWeekExpectationsMadDearPursueFlightEveningTeaVainSweetnessDelayFatigueImpatientBeamRosyUnrelenting Book:Poems Source: Poems
