Misconceptions of Meditation:
There are many misconceptions about meditation. It is not a red light stop sign for body, speech and mind, to sit and do nothing, be silent and say nothing. To quiet and think nothing. It is a method to awaken the innate wisdom from within us, create awareness and create joy and happiness from within.
