Dear Alan,

meditate?
Ok, I ain't trained.
Missed it.
Is it too late?

Looking at meditation in wikipedia it tells me:

"Meditation may be used with the aim of reducing stress, anxiety, depression, 
and pain, and increasing peace, perception,[7] self-concept, and 
well-being.[8][9][10][11] Meditation is under research to define its possible 
health (psychological, neurological, and cardiovascular) and other effects."

Shocked myself with the section "criticism":

"The psychologist Thomas Joiner argues that modern mindfulness meditation has 
been "corrupted" for commercial gain by self-help celebrities, and suggests 
that it encourages unhealthy narcissistic and self-obsessed mindsets."

Hope you you all enjoy a lovely Sunday.
