Interview Description: Their approach to meditation is very simple. Techniques such as watching your breath or developing loving kindness are helpful but the important part of meditating is letting yourself be still, being with yourself in thatstillness and thereby letting go. Ed says, “M editation is the greatest gift you cangive yourself and it’s easily available to everyone. I t’s all about showing us the nature of the mind by becoming mindful.
