Daily Zen And The Art Of Cyber-Meditation

by Marisa

When most of us think "meditation", a room full of screaming traders is not the first image that comes to mind. Fluorescent lights, frantic phones, a bevy of television screens on every wall, even the most grounded of gurus would concede this environment something less than meditationally ideal. Of course, these are often precisely the times we could most use a dollop of transcendence. Enter: DailyZen.com.

In addition to inspiring quotations and e-cards, this soothing site offers an online meditation sanctuary accessible from any place with an internet connection, be that a Wall Street trading floor, a crowded airport, or your own sometimes less than calming abode.

Simply click "enter" from the DailyZen.com home page, and select "Meditation Space." From here you will be invited to pause, breathe, sit tall, and release your concerns as you enter a cyber-sanctuary peopled with fellow meditators from around the globe.

So sure, cyber-meditation may sound counter-intuitive, but when you're stuck in some I-banking cubicle (or ensconced in a houseful of children and chores), just pausing at the DailyZen meditation page and breathing for a moment can go a long way in restoring your calm and composure. To this we can all say "Om."
