Excellent post, thank you so very much for underlining some of the intrinsic powers of meditation, under many of its forms, in there. We use so many different kinds to help out our children grow into a more focussed individual in the schools where I work.

The motivational aspects of it are paramount and find their ends in the establishment of a habit for which, a long time ago, life depended on. What if our life depended on it, would we have a much serious focus toward our survival? I would be tempted to answer with a definite and resounding yes. Maybe our lives depend on it, but most of us don't realize it... Food for thought I guess. ;)

All for one and one for all! Namaste :)
