[OSList] Why CERTIFICATION makes sense considering this conversation on Mission, Vision Strategy Plans, etc.

[Michael M Pannwitz]

Dear Alan,

meditate?
Ok, I ain't trained.
Missed it.
Is it too late?

Looking at meditation in wikipedia it tells me:

"Meditation may be used with the aim of reducing stress, anxiety, 
depression, and pain, and increasing peace, perception,[7] self-concept, 
and well-being.[8][9][10][11] Meditation is under research to define its 
possible health (psychological, neurological, and cardiovascular) and 
other effects."

Shocked myself with the section "criticism":

"The psychologist Thomas Joiner argues that modern mindfulness 
meditation has been "corrupted" for commercial gain by self-help 
celebrities, and suggests that it encourages unhealthy narcissistic and 
self-obsessed mindsets."

Hope you you all enjoy a lovely Sunday.
