Like the song from Robert Palmer "A pretty face don't make a pretty heart, I learned that buddy, from the start." And besides, it has nothing to do with a skeptic's inability to still the mind. I've read several books on meditation, and even the saints said it is not easy. So a perfectionist can't use that as an excuse. When your mind starts to wander, you just get it back in line and continue. People who scoff at the idea of meditation do not realize the benifits. Some people say it is the most pleasant sensation possible. Many people confuse it with hypnosis. It's not the same. Many hypnosis sessions the person has extreme reactions. Meditation is not that way at all. It is extreme calm.An excellent way to reduce stress.
