At the end of a long day sitting down to relax and meditate may lead to sleep rather than an elevated place of consciousness. If you love food, cooking and creativity in the kitchen can focus the mind and bring it to a state of meditation as well as sow good vibes into food. Meditation is often thought of as sitting down, but the experienced meditator brings that still, focused state into every day actions. This is good practice and one that will invigorate rather than weary the mind. So grab that knife and chop those zucchini or tomatoes one concentrated stroke at a time and put all of your love into it.
