		<description><![CDATA[For a useful and powerful happiness meditation, let&#8217;s turn to 4th century Chinese philosopher Chuang Tzu, who tells us&#8230; Perfect happiness is the absence of happiness.

		<description><![CDATA[I haven&#8217;t posted a good meditation lately, so let me  make up for that lapse right now. For today&#8217;s meditation, we turn east to Tao Te Ching, The Book of the Way, where we learn&#8230; I have just three things to teach: Simplicity, patience, compassion.

		<description><![CDATA[I have a short but sweet flowing water meditation for you this week. Don&#8217;t overlook trying this one because it&#8217;s so simple. My experience in life is that simple usually turns out much better than complicated. Anyway, we start with this wonderfully wise Chinese proverb&#8230; Flowing water never goes bad. Now, let&#8217;s put the proverb [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have an interesting meditation for you today that also effectively relieves stress. I based this meditation on a point made by Richard Albert, also known as Ram Dass, who wrote&#8230; The quieter you become, the more you can hear. Ram Dass&#8217;s insight works great as a stress reducer. How so? Keep reading. Take a [...]]]></description>

Would you like to experience what it&#8217;s like when the universe surrenders? You would? Great. Here&#8217;s how to have that experience&#8230; Take at least four long, deep breaths until you&#8217;ve slowed down and centered [...]]]></description>

The practice is the teacher. Your practice is your teacher. You might be asking, &#8220;What is my practice?&#8221; That&#8217;s so easy to answer: Right now, this very moment, breathe in, hold for a second, [...]]]></description>
