		<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>

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!
