Modern Day Meditation: Finding Peace Anywhere

The other day I was reading Metro and came across an interview with a “meditation consultant.” Is this really a new line of work in 2010? What do meditation consultants do?

A Spiritual Diet

Confession time: I just ate a grilled steak and cheese sandwich for lunch, followed by carrot cake. OK, so I shared the carrot cake with a friend.
