Enjoy your sabbatical! I hope you accomplish as much or as little as you feel is helpful while you're out. I've had various experiences with meditation, including through religious leaders and athletic and music coaches. These days, my favorite form of meditation is guided during the breathing exercises at the beginning of a yoga session and the guided meditation that always ends a good yoga session. The exercises in between are a great driver for mediation. Somehow, that makes it easier to get into and more meaningful than just listening to a voice on an app or trying mantras on my own.

Well said, Tom. =) And thanks for the support
