Compare Two Mindfulness Approaches For A Busy Mind
Every guide assumes you can sit cross-legged in silence for twenty minutes, and you cannot get past two before your leg falls asleep and your mind wanders off. This compares two more active approaches side by side so you pick one that fits a restless mind rather than forcing yourself into one that does not. Suits anyone who has tried and quietly given up on traditional meditation.
<context>
