How and Where to Meditate, a Strategy for a Healthier Life

First, the posture. The widespread image of a yogi sitting cross-legged in samadhi might be out of reach for most of us and also not really necessary to imitate. If you can sit on a floor, that might be very useful as you don't need much and you can practice anywhere, anytime. But if you cant, don't despair. Most of us will need something to sit on, even if it is a yoga block, a big dictionary, a cushion, a folded blanket or a sweater. You can be as innovative as you want to. Some of us might have bought or made themselves cushions filled with buckwheat hulls, for instance. There are limitless possibilities to explore and play with, but I would suggest before you establish a regular sitting practice and discover what you really need, leave that for later. For now, utilise whatever you see around you.

Success Stories or Encountering Failures and What Really Matters

The award-winning Outset Start-Up Experts inaugurated me as a success story, one of those people who turned their ideas into successful businesses. What an irony? I have never been in a worse situation in my life, seeing a failure shadow in the mirror and I am 49 years old and lived through war, divorces, abuse in the spiritual community, etc.

It was a good idea, a good start and a good foundation. But then, when everything was supposed to start rolling out as planned, La Vida Lockdown became our reality and six months of hard work evaporated in the covid19 polluted air.

How can I “offer a safe, supportive environment for the older generation to promote better health”, when all care homes, residential homes closed their doors and I cannot see or touch a single senior person?!
