I start writing. Often I start writing headlines. First sentences. Paragraphs. Suddenly the dam breaks and a flow begins. Re-writing. re-writing. Finally the block is dissolved and the creative juices take over.

At my regular appointment with my primary doctor, I told him "One thing I attribute my good health to is meditation." My doctor said, "I have patients who could benefit from meditation. Do you know anyone who teaches meditation?" I responded, "Yes, but I don't recommend the approach they use for beginners. Doesn't the education department at the hospital teach meditation?" My doctor said "No." I left my doctor's office and thought to myself, I'll work up some exercise sheets and offer to teach meditation in the hospital's education department. This idea changed and morphed into my book, "Simply How to Meditate: Meditation Made Easy for Beginners and Busy People."
