“The unleashed power of the atom has changed everything save our modes of thinking and we thus drift toward unparalleled catastrophe“, assures an Albert Einstein quote. The concern about global energy disasters has been in the minds of scientists and politics for a long time and has now reached the Internet through Counterspill.org –  “a living archive that combines best in class reporting, research, social media and community engagement.” Based on the premise that press is the Fourth Estate, Counterspill intends to create and respond — week by week, month by month, year by year — to energy industry narratives.

Stadistics indicate that 10% of people are employed in a job they love. If you are in the other 90% – and you either dislike or hate your work – it means that you probably spend the whole year saving money and waiting for your two or three week vacation to run away from it.

Headspace Meditation – This, friends, is meditation for the internet generation. This isn’t some kooky class that your mother-in-law once went to and now insists you attend every other week, with a hippie instructor leisurely guiding you along the road to ‘nirvana’. Not at all.

This is an online program and free iPhone app designed out of cutting edge, scientific research, that appreciates the busy life you live. Headspace doesn’t want to make any drastic changes. It simply wants to help a modern generation for whom time is an all-too-elusive commodity take just 10 minutes out each day, follow some simple techniques and exercises, and help to enhance our busy lives by making us less stressed, more clear thinking and more motivated.

So before you start thinking i’ve gone all spacey, telling you about the inner calm I’ve been feeling over the last few days, take a look at the Headspace program. It’s led by zen-like, yet relate-able, Buddhist Brit Andy Puddicombe, and you get a series of beautifully animated, daily videos to start you off on the road to a clearer, more motivated mind. The video above on the benefits of meditation is a preview of the sort of short video you’ll be getting when you sign up for the 10 day trial Headspace offers. And you can click here to explore whether Headspace could help you get your mind in order!
