- Introduction to issue #004 - focus: meditation & mindfulness
- The concepts and practices of MEDITATION & MINDFULNESS are both ancient and modern – and I’m delighted to offer you these great articles about them! Even if you're a regular meditator, you may find that there are things you didn’t know about these topics. Several of these articles have really helped me connect back in with myself, and find some peace within the chaos. I’m so grateful that all these talented authors share their knowledge and insights with us, in LivingNow. :-) Emma
