You want to meditate. But five minutes in, and you’re jumping out of your skin. Urgent thoughts prompt you into action. Your cell phone vibrates. Maybe tomorrow. Today is not a good day for this.

That was me, until five years ago. I haven’t missed a morning meditation since. Along the way, I’ve developed an inner silence and a feeling of spaciousness that carries into the day.
