Often when we are learning to meditate, we jump right up eager to rejoin the running, ranting and raving mob. Consider trying something different. When you are at the end of your practice, maintain the quiet. Rise slowly. If you must talk, do so softly. When you move do so slowly, intentionally. Try to maintain the feeling of the meditation by avoiding multi-tasking and interacting with others for as long as possible. And then, when you are back in your routine, you may find that you brought the meditative state with you. And, when that is the case, you will find that although the outer world is spinning all around you, the life within is peaceful, comforting, still.
Shanti,
