It really is a chance to quiet (or "still") our minds and commune with Heavenly Father. A worthy daily practice indeed.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17859991152790467696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7513022067297559508.post-52670605548185263832016-03-02T16:39:51.779-08:002016-03-02T16:39:51.779-08:00You know I find it very interesting about the &quo...You know I find it very interesting about the "mind-wandering". I knew about the benefits of meditation but honestly hadn't thought of the opposing result of m-w. From my personal observations of others who fret and worry, or simply ruminate, I'd say those are good things for a person to be aware of.DianeSchuller.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17359249391460871879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7513022067297559508.post-72505944464054858502016-02-29T18:19:10.327-08:002016-02-29T18:19:10.327-08:00Good to know, because I have considered both.

He writes about how the Internet is causing our brains not to be able to attend like they used to. I spend a lot of time on the Internet flipping from one thing to the next, never really spending too much time on any one thing. What I have noticed is that I struggle now to pay attention when reading fiction. When I'm reading nonfiction I have to take notes along the way. I've been hesitant to embrace meditation because of its Eastern roots.Sharihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18245401146027815045noreply@blogger.com
