How often do you switch off your phone? Probably not as often as your friends, family and partner wish you would. Perhaps never?

What about you? Do you ever switch off your phone for you? No calls, no SMS, no Twitter, Facebook, email or other disturbances. Just you.

Go ahead, get some practice. Switch it off right now. Switch off this computer too, disconnect for a while, if only for 5 minutes. Find your centre. Create a zone of peace around you and within you.

Then practice it again, and again, whenever you can, for longer and longer periods. Connect and recharge yourself, not your technology. Feel the peace arising within.
