Everywhere I turn these days the keywords, “mindfulness” and “meditation” are being suggested as a way of enhancing our well-being. Some baby boomers can remember meditation and the connection with the Beatles interests in the practice after a meeting Paul McCartney, George Harrison and John Lennon had with Maharishi after his lecture at the Hilton Hotel, London, on August 24, 1967, which sparked an interest to study in India with the Yogi to learn the techniques.
For your information, Senior Planet is having a conversation regularly about “Mindfulness”, and so are other wellness websites. That’s why I am happy to share some of the links with you, as you think about embracing new ways for your wellness regimen.
Are “meditation” and “mindfulness” the same thing?
