For the benefits of meditation to become widely accessible to humanity, it cannot just be the domain of bald people in funny robes living in mountains, or small groups of New Age folks in San Francisco. Meditation needs to become “real.” It needs to align with the lives and interests of real people.
--from Search Inside Yourself
Early Google engineer and personal growth pioneer Chade-Meng Tan first designed Search Inside Yourself as a popular course at Google intended to transform the work and lives of the best and brightest behind one of the most innovative, successful, and profitable businesses in the world . . . and now it can do the same for you. Meng has distilled emotional intelligence into a set of practical and proven tools and skills that anyone can learn and develop.

  • Дмитрий Веснинhas quoted6 years ago

One guy in the audience got distracted by a fluttering flag and said, “Flag is moving.” Another guy said, “No, wind is moving.” The third guy, the wisest person in the audience said, “No, my friends, mind is moving.” A fourth guy, getting really annoyed, said, “Mouths are moving.”

      This traditional posture is sometimes called the seven-point meditation posture. In brief, the seven are:
      Back straight “like an arrow”
      Legs crossed in “lotus position”
      Shoulders relaxed, held up and back, “like a vulture”
      Chin tucked in slightly, “like an iron hook”
      Eyes closed or gazing into space
      Tongue held against the upper palate
      Lips slightly apart, teeth not clenched
