		<title>How To Meditate At Work</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Learning how to meditate at work can seem a little dubious to say the least, but it&#8217;s not what you think.

		<title>How To Meditate When Traveling</title>
		<description><![CDATA[How To Meditate &#8220;on the go&#8221;. I often get asked about how to meditate when traveling. There are two contrasting meditations to try when you are traveling.

		<title>Walking Meditation Techniques</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Zen walking meditation, or &#8216;kinhin&#8217;, was developed as a way to take a break from sitting meditation, but it works well in its own right.

		<title>OM Meditation Techniques</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This meditation uses the Sanskrit word &#8216;om&#8217;, the sound of which has an almost magical physical resonance. &#8220;Om&#8221; is pronounced  &#8220;Ah-oh-mmm&#8221;.
This is the syllable that the Creator God Brahma is said to have uttered at the beginning of creation – and it still reverberates throughout the universe today. Hindus and Buddhists use it as the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Christian Meditation</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Christians often meditate - although we may not label what they are doing as specific Christian meditation. Contemplation of the images of Christ or the Virgin, telling the rosary, reciting Hail Marys, simply sitting in a church can all lead to a meditative clearing of the mind.
The same is true of the other monotheistic religions. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Meditation</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Meditation has been described as &#8216;no-mind&#8217; or &#8216;not-thinking&#8217;. It is a stilling of the mind for a sustained period. In essence this is achieved, at least initially, by concentrating on one thing - a word, a symbol, an action such as breathing - so that everything else fails away.
