“If every 8 year old in the world is taught meditation, we will eliminate violence from the world within one generation.” The Dalai Lama
How come that children learn to count and write but not to care about their thoughts and emotions ?
Why weren't we taught to clear our minds daily as we were taught to brush our teeth ?
It's a pitty because a short practice a day keeps the caries away :)
THE GOOD NEWS IS : we can still learn !
If you are intrested to learn about mindfullness they are maaaaany options.
For example, the 8-weeks MBSR course (mindfulness-based stress reduction) is taught almost everywhere. I just did it and can only recommand it !
You can surely also find introduction course about meditation at some yoga studios for example.
Apps like headspace can also be a good way to start.
Vipassana retreats, like Montsoleil in Jura or Beatenberg in Bern can also be of intrest.
Just try things out - like yoga - the offer is huge (dogmatic or not) and I promise : the time you invest is WON, not lost :)
