I heard Buddhist monk Gelong Thubten speak at Wigtown Book Festival. He spoke about meditation as a way of training your mind, so as to be better able to deal with difficult times, so although I am filing this post under Simply Chill it's not perhaps appropriate. Thubten is not describing meditation as clearing your mind or chilling out but as a fairly challenging and rigorous practice.
Of breathing meditation -
Every time you return to the breath
you are becoming your own boss.
The whole garden is spectaculaly colourful this autumn.
