Have you ever tried meditation? How long did it take you? Personally, I tried it once and barely made it past three minutes. My mind just wouldn't still; it kept racing in all directions.

The first time Taruri Gatere tried this ancient wellness practice, which dates back to 1500 BC among the Hindus of India, she had a worse time than I did. Her mind could not keep calm for a minute.
