Stress, anxiety and depression arise not from the external situation but from our response to it. Therefore the key to improving our lives is to change our mind. Meditation is the method for changing and developing our mind. Through meditation we can transform our approach to situations in our lives and become more skillful and creative in dealing with difficulties. Gradually our mind becomes more peaceful and positive.
