Why would a person want to attend "Meditation: A Survival Tool for the 21st Century" at the Ferndale Public Library?

"If we go through life and we never take time to do some yoga, some meditation, something to relax our nervous system, it is kind of like playing the same guitar all your life without ever tuning it. We lose the sense of harmony in life," states the website for the presenting group, Ferndale-based White Rabbit Resources.

The purpose of meditating goes beyond relaxing or, a skeptic might say, humming.

"The workshop is put together in such a way as to help us drop a great deal of stress, and raise energy levels," White Rabbit tells us. "The result is a re-gained sense of happiness, joy of living. Besides better health and healthier emotions, the participants report a greater sense of awareness of what goes on in them and around them."

Doubters have nothing to risk but their time, because admission is free. Start time at the library, 222 East Nine Mile Road, is 6 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 20.

    A good library.... filled with people quietly going about their reading and researching is, indeed, a fine space in the community to meditate.... Great suggestion!

    I meditate every day; if I don't I feel "off" all day. Great thing for the library to do.

    The library would be a perfect place to meditate. It's already a nice, quite spot. Adding the meditation makes sense.
