Can't meditate? Just l-e-t g-o . . .

"Live in the moment," the instructor urged. It really is almost impossible.

    IT HAPPENED some time recently - maybe in the last six months, or a year - that everyone I know started meditating. Or at least they talked about the desire to meditate. Some used apps such as Headspace; others just put on trippy music and zoned out. A few went to events put on by Medi Club, a kind of meditation-cum-social group.

    "Mindfulness," we're calling it, this desire to take a chunk of each day and simply live in the present.

    I need some of that calm and focus in my life. I have a tendency to either live in paranoia about the future or dwell on the foibles of the past. Besides, I have never met a fitness or health or beauty or wellness trend I didn't want to participate in. My old set of Tae Bo VHS tapes are slowly decomposing in a garage in California.
