That is interesting. The concept of "Meditation" can be a little intimidating at times. It seems to have so much attached to it and it is easy to be too busy to deal with it. But I had a sweet hippie English teacher in high school who taught us about living in the moment completely. So instead of that rush of stress and thoughts flying, we would just clear our head and focus on all the sensations of what we were doing. Sometimes when I am waiting for my laundry to dry at the Laundromat or something I just try to really feel every part of my body one at a time, starting with each one of my toes. It is weird at first, but very relaxing after a while. 

Reply to VickiR - living in the moment is a great thing to practice, I take you back to your other post about resolutions and not keeping them.  If people would live in the moment and be mindfull and stop worrying about what kind of person they wish they were and accept life "as it is" then you as a person would feel better about yourself and not feel the need to change to societies perceptions.
