		<description><![CDATA[ “Why am I meditating?” is the single most important question to ask and answer for yourself as you begin.

		<description><![CDATA[In becoming more mindful we create more presence, peace and joy for ourselves and the world around us regardless of what is happening ‘out there.’ It is not just a tactic to reduce stress in the moment, but mindfulness creates a stable foundation to our lives and a more effective way of being in the world.
