More people than ever are experiencing the benefits of meditation, and now meditation (and mindfulness) have become an invaluable tool for modern people from all walks of life. These meditation techniques came from over 2,000 years of Buddhist wisdom and can also be experienced, not only as a tool for modern living but also as a true spiritual path.
