Creating Opportunities for Serenity

August 3, 2009 – 7:18 am

tranquil-womanSilence, calmness, tranquility, peace – they’re all synonymous to serenity. It’s the absence of sensory distractions, allowing calmness to rule over. And surely you have a minute to spare for it in a day.

That’s not difficult to achieve in your waking hours. There are opportunities for it at home, even in a quiet room in your workplace.

The best way to achieve serenity is through meditation but you can have your own one-minute version of it. The meditative discipline has several techniques practiced and ‘perfected’ by gurus but if these feel like an added ‘workload’ for you, just find your own quiet breathing space. You don’t have to trade one regimen with another.
