I’ve always constantly been on the go, I put this down to having lots of energy and seeking adventure, but perhaps there has also been an element of running away?

I’m now seven months into a meditation (breathing exercise) routine and I’m starting to notice a change in my reactivity finding a space between stimulus and response.

It is now something I keep in my toolbox and although I’m still prone to old patterns I’m also able to tap into a state of inner peace.

It takes about 20 minutes for my body to relax followed by my mind it’s a symbiotic relationship. It’s quite remarkable really because previously I was your typically fidgety skeptic now it’s something I look forward to. I believe timeout for a mindfulness practice is a simply and effective way for stress reduction and/or a spiritual practice for greater self awareness.
