One of the biggest dangers we face today is the temptation to live life on the surface, caught in the perpetual distraction of frenetic busyness. Too often, we are overwhelmed by the floodwaters of our circumstances, and instead of responding with clarity and wisdom, we compulsively react out of anxiety and exhaustion. We intuit that something is wrong with this way of being in the world, but feel powerless to do anything about it.

Check out this message to see how the recreating silence of meditation can lead to a stable, non-anxious existence grounded in wisdom, freedom, contentment, and peace.
