Five Good Minutes

five good minutesI don’t know about you, but I find meditation a pretty essential part of life these days. It’s the antidote to our multi-tasking, high speed, over-scheduled lifestyles. Just a few minutes a day to stop the clock.

(Actually it was a gift from my wife…).  “Five Good Minutes,” by Brantley and Millstine, advocates meditating within the first few seconds of waking up, before your brain starts for the day, before you become distracted, and hopefully while your mind is still open to receiving new thoughts and ideas. And for me it works….

So imagine the smile on my face when I opened the page to today’s exercise and found this!

I grew up in England, so you could say TEA is in my DNA.

Evening times, I revert to something non caffeinated, I particularly enjoy Rooibos w/ Lemon Myrtle, or just a plain Chamomile at the end of a tough day…
