The Secret to Finding Your Purpose and Meaning

The Secret to Finding your Purpose and Meaning in Life. 

Do you remember this by Douglas Adam 
The answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe and everything is 42. 
 
Is this the secret ??? 
Well I suppose it could be - it was said as a joke by Douglas but many people have found meaning in this number , (which goes to show you can find purpose and meaning anywhere if you look. )

Quick Guide To starting out your Meditation Practise

I’ve thought this myself in the early days but something kept me going and I’m so glad I did because meditation has saved my sanity more than once . What always helped me at the start is to use the time in practise as my few minutes of paradise. I always made sure that I allocated the time to myself with no distractions even if it was only 10 minutes
