Cool site though!

The woman in yellow puts me off too. It's a perfectly fine and interesting article. So why do they feel a need to illustrate it with an irrelevant sexy babe? To me it distracts from the article.

Geoff-Allen

Sexy women don't bother me

I think that is an image of the site's author.

If meditation was available in capsule form, it would be the biggest selling drug of all time. It has been scientifically proven to deliver highly effective stress relief, boost our immune systems and dramatically slow the ageing process. It has also been shown to make us much happier and more effective thinkers. Given all the physical and psychological benefits, why aren't more of us doing it?
