		<description><![CDATA[Joe, a student in my online class, was worried that meditation would hurt his career. He works in a very competitive business where everyone is single-mindedly pushing and driving hard all the time. The whole idea of &#8220;letting go&#8221; seemed absurd in that context. But at the same time his stress and anxiety levels were [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In the traditional Metta Bhavana (Lovingkindness) meditation, there&#8217;s a stage where we bring to mind someone we don&#8217;t know very well and imaginatively offer our well wishing to him. I always thought this practice was perfectly suited for us modern citydwellers. We probably encounter many times more people we don&#8217;t know every day than those [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It’s discouraging, isn’t it, to watch ourselves fall repeatedly into our same old habitual traps. We try to practice mindfulness, but it can be frustrating. Do you ever have days where you’re so caught up that you realize only at night, despite your best intentions, that you weren’t mindful for even one moment? And it’s [...]]]></description>

Negotiation doesn&#8217;t have to be a hard-ball, combative situation. By treating the salesman with empathy and understanding, she ended up getting what she wanted!

		<description><![CDATA[I love this description by Jan Chozen Bays on how mindfulness gradually grows into our daily lives. It&#8217;s an excerpt from her latest book, How to Train a Wild Elephant. People often say to me, “I’d love to practice mindfulness, but I’m so busy I can’t seem to find the time.” Most people think of [...]]]></description>

But after some weeks of this, you still feel like things are crazy busy and all over the place. So your [...]]]></description>

Everyone gathers together every night at what&#8217;s called a General Assembly, where everybody has a say in every little decision on the table. Decisions are made by consensus, where [...]]]></description>

I thought it might improve my overall energy levels, and help with the chronic tension in my back and shoulders. But it&#8217;s been a &#8220;two steps forward, one step backward&#8221; sort of path. It&#8217;s especially on those days when I&#8217;m feeling pretty good that I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This past spring, I attended professional training in Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) &#8212; a program started by Jon Kabat-Zinn at the UMass Medical Center. Basically, MBSR is a way of presenting meditation in a secular context &#8212; for health, wellness, and self-awareness. It brings the transformative power of mindfulness out to the mainstream in a [...]]]></description>
