Oprah .. and meditation

(pic from Elevated Existence blog)

From the Elevated Existence blog today .. word that Oprah Winfrey is coming back to television AND that she is talking about the benefits unfolding from her daily meditation practice. 

Oprah's new show will start (in the US on her OWN Network) on New Year’s Day .. Oprah says that her return to television is directed by the fact that “I miss .. talking to people”. 

On meditation .. she spoke of how she and her staff “have begun meditating daily after visiting a town in Iowa where one third of the entire town is focused on transcendental meditation. “You cannot imagine what’s happened in my company,” as a result of meditation, Oprah explained.

“People who used to have migraines—don’t. People are sleeping better. People have better relationships. The one thing I want to continue to do is to center myself every day and make that a practice for myself because I am 1000 percent better when I do that—when I take myself back to something bigger than myself.” 

Maybe we shall see meditation become the hip new 'thing' in 2012 .. if we don't count the last 2500 years, across countries, traditions and people!
