		<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. These three are your greatest treasures. Simple in actions and [...]]]></description>

		<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[For this week&#8217;s meditation, we turn to a wonderful Zen saying&#8230; No snowflake ever falls in the wrong place. Meditate on this observation during the coming week whenever something feels wrong in your life. Here&#8217;s how to do it. When something seems awry, breathe deeply, pause for a second, and start centering your focus. Repeat [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For this week&#8217;s meditation we turn to a classic Taoist saying&#8230; To the mind that is still, the whole universe surrenders. 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>

		<description><![CDATA[For today&#8217;s meditation, let&#8217;s turn to American novelist and short story writer, Willa Cather, who tells us how to be happy&#8230; That is happiness: to be dissolved into something complete and great. You are already complete and great. Right now. In this very moment. But you most likely don&#8217;t realize your completeness and greatness because [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For this week&#8221;s meditation, we visit my wise friend Confucius, who so correctly observed&#8230; To be wronged is nothing unless you continue to remember it. This week, focus on letting go of all those instances when you were wronged in life by somebody or something. Here&#8217;s a simple way to let go&#8230; Take three or [...]]]></description>

A: What sort of &#8220;thing&#8221; do you suppose the Way to be, that you should wish to &#8220;follow&#8221; it? Old Huang, he&#8217;s great, isn&#8217;t he? Take [...]]]></description>

Oh, so true. Join me in the present moment, won&#8217;t you? Take a [...]]]></description>

If you don&#8217;t live it, it won&#8217;t come out your horn. Your life is an on-going symphony of music, but I bet you&#8217;ve rarely slowed down and been still enough [...]]]></description>

A songbird of peace will come to you right now. Here&#8217;s how to make it happen&#8230; Take a deep breath. Hold for a second. Exhale slowly and start to focus inwardly. [...]]]></description>
