We have an unprecedented level of material prosperity, but often it seems to come at the price of increased complexity and stress. However, there is no reason why we cannot have the best of both worlds; taking advantage of modern technology and enjoying the simplicity of living in the present moment. So writes Tejvan Pettinger in these tips to simplify your life.

Everyone uses their first breath to cry. Raw sound, cold, movement, pain, exhaustion, separation from the source, are too much to bear at once. There is no strength of one’s own to call upon, and nothing certain or familiar on which to depend. Julius Caeser, Abraham Lincoln, Albert Einstein, Muhammad Ali, however mighty they become, each arrived naked and alone, and cried.” Sumangali Morhall writes of beginnings in life, and how in meditation and joining the Sri Chinmoy Centre, she found answers to her life’s first cry, and to questions not yet formed.
