We understand how to keep our bodies clean and attractive. Soaps, tooth pastes, shampoos, perfumes, deodorants, moisturizers, disinfectants, cleansers, brushes, towels, and other body-tools... form an enormous industry.
We do not
have such a booming industry for the hygiene of the mind yet, but this market
is definitely growing.
Meditation
is an old and reliable tool to clear the mind.
The traditional
(Buddhist) goal of meditation is enlightenment.
There are
many stages of clarity and relaxation of the mind before enlightenment; all are
beneficial.
As little as
twenty minutes of meditation a day impacts our daily lives and work immediately.
We can use it therapeutically too, it is especially helpful in addiction treatment
and anger management.
All we need
is a pillow or a chair, some just sit on the ground. It works beautifully
together with narrative therapy.
