Thoughts on Meditation

The object of meditation is to quiet the mind. Many people including myself use music, mantras, chants, and other "tools" to help with the process. Many of us think this is meditation. Gabriel Cousens shared this thought with us the other day. Thought I wouls pass it on:

The music, chants and so forth are just tools which help us reach the state of quiet mind. Meditation truly starts when we lose the music or other aid we may be using. When our minds enter a state of nothingness is when we are in true meditation.......

High Blood Pressure

Recently a friend emailed me and asked what she could do for her high blood pressure.
Suggestions:

1. Eat 90% plant based diet
2. No fried or processed foods
3. Meditate 30 minutes daily
4. Magnesium helps some people with high BP
5. Walk 30 minutes daily

Any other suggestions?
