Recently I experienced a time of great stress and change in my family life and felt a need for a stable means to center myself. I became interested in meditation and received some instruction in breathing and focussing exercises from an experienced meditator who introduced me to concentration and insight techniques. She told me to focus my attention on a center point between the eyebrows in the middle of my forehead. I practiced this every evening for six months and noticed a gradually increasing awareness of bodily relaxation, greater insight into my feelings and emotions, and a recognition of what seems to be an inner wisdom.
