    Ten Minute Meditation

    Given the pace of our daily lives and the stress that so many of us experience, many people turn to mindfulness meditation. If you’re like most people, though, the idea of adding a meditation practice to your daily routine can feel like an almost impossible task. Doesn’t meditation require hours of focus? Is it even possible to benefit from it without spending an hour in sitting meditation? In fact, a daily practice can start small. To this end, we’re happy to offer you this free 10 minute guided mindfulness meditation by Tara Brach. Ten minutes of quiet attention is a manageable place to begin.
