Is meditation an answer?

A power outage works pretty well, too.

I'd go for the power outage or dead batteries. Sometimes my mind won't shut off so meditation is not the answer.

But that's the point of it, T. Practice.

Little bits at a time.

When I do try to meditate I fall asleep.

The problem for me with power outages is that they don't always happen for twenty minutes / day at 5:30am... the time I use for daily meditation.

I've been meditating since 1970... 39 years.
