You could try Transcendental Meditation which is easy yet profound. In fact not trying is key to transcending. With the right technique, it works. I am a teacher of it actually and have been doing it for 50+ years (since I went to Simon’s Rock where Jennifer went also!) TM.org.

That is one type of meditation I have not yet tried, which I am very interested in! I also attended SR... though I guess our paths never crossed. And my mom was Eileen Handelman, who taught physics and was the dean while I was there :-).

Yikes! Your mother was Eileen Handelman! She was very cool--one of a few science teachers when I was there ('69-'72). Ann Leibrick also, and a woman who taught anthropology whose name escapes me. I never took physics because I had a phobia about doing too much math :) But I married a physicist, so there you go.

Yes, indeed she was my mom. I didn't appreciate her then, of course, but thankfully that changed as I grew older. I was there '77-81. I remember Ann, too.

Thank you, Audrey, for sharing this journey of practice. So simple, yet profound. Show up, Let go and Begin again. These three tenets of the daily "do" list offers the elasticity it takes to be a gentle, engaged human. Ground on!
