I would easily fall into meditation in that room with her and a few other people around. I think I learnt by osmosis by just being in her presence. I suggest anyone finding it hard to meditate or slow down try an ashram or temple or a place where a lot of meditating goes on, somehow you can absorb the energy and it seems to make it easier too when you then try at home. Just a suggestion, it worked for me so might work for someone else! I found meditation something I had to stick with and over time I got better at it, what I mean is, it became easier to slip into the meditative state for longer periods of time. I love your blog Heidi there are so many interesting things to read! Thank you for your efforts. Aum Shanti.

In a way, I'm glad to find that I'm not the only one. There's something about stillness that I think is hard to make ourselves do these days, but thanks for the reminder that I should try!
