    I had to have a little think before choosing today's day :thinking:

    The History of World Meditation Day can be traced through the History of Meditation itself. Meditation has been an integral part of many religions and was first found spoken of in written form in about 1500 BCE in India. It plays a prominent role in many religions throughout the world, especially Buddhism and other Eastern faiths, but is also practiced by those who are neither spiritual nor religious as a way of easing stress and clearing their mind.

    In today’s world meditation is vital regardless of whether you’re a spiritual person or not, the frantic hustle and bustle of daily activity prevent many of us from ever having a moments peace. Reduced blood pressure, a calmer demeanour, and more precise thought have all been shown to be results of practicing this ancient art.

  5. I ordered a pizza from our local Bhuddist pizza place. I told them to just make me one with everything.
