It has fast become the slow way to manage the modern world - without chanting mantras or finding hours of special time to meditate. Bring these simple 5- and 10-minute practices into your day to find freedom from stress and, ultimately, more peace in your life. I am a blogger at ChicagoNow, I meditate, I mom, I wife, I daughter, I sister and I friend. And I seek for ways to move from fear-based living to faith-based living and to be more kind, patient and loving with myself and those around me.
