The second survey we ran on Mastery of Meditation & Yoga, was asking the question, "How Long Do You Meditate For?", and just like our first survey, which asked, How Often Do You Meditate?, this survey also indicated that many of you have very healthy and strong meditation practices.
Without a doubt, abiding passion is a cornerstone of a successful, longterm meditation practice, but not far behind in the list of requirements is the need for urgency as well. It is almost as if the abiding passion creates the atmosphere for meditation to be practiced and then urgency, provides the necessary catalyst for insight to explode.

Mindfulness, choice-less awareness, being in the moment, attention, observation, listening, seeing, etc, are all just part of the Art of Meditation, and at the heart of meditation lies the mind.

This stillness within, then allows our vast nature to be encountered and appreciated.
I joined the herds this summer on their seasonal migration to the Jersey shore. We headed to beautiful Long Beach Island for our annual family vacation and just recently returned from there. In most cases, I would probably not be a big proponent of herd mentality, but I must say, that in this case joining the masses to lounge out on the beach and enjoy the great blue Atlantic was indeed a fine idea. Unfortunately, I returned to find that AnmolMehta.Com had been badly hacked during my time away, which certainly put a damper on my post vacation mood!
