January 12, 2009

After reading the comments on meditation and stress I saw that I needed to make a slight clarification.  All the comments showed that people were linking up the dots and coming to this conclusion themselves, but I wanted to add a little emphasis so no-one is in any doubt as to what is needed to overcome [...]
