Meditation . . . Anyone Can Do It!

Since the 1970s the word meditation has become a common, everyday term in the West, and yet for many people, the practice of meditation remains wrapped in an aura of mysticism. This issue of Agni is dedicated to dispelling the myth that meditation is difficult or requires years of practices to receive its benefits. Just the opposite is true: 1.) Everyone can meditate and 2.) The benefits and gifts of meditation are both immediate and long-term.

This month we are inviting Agni readers (and their friends, family, and anyone who could use a little more happiness and peace in their life) to take the 21-Day Meditation Challenge and directly experience how easy and beneficial meditation can be. Take the Mind Balance Quiz before and after the Meditation Challenge and see how much more balance and energized you feel. David Simon writes about the essence of meditation and mantras, while Deepak Chopra shares his monk’s journey in Thailand. Learn how meditation helps loosen the grip of addictive behaviors and explore a meditative yoga practice that interweaves the Seven Spiritual Laws.
