5 years ago, I was a burned-out, stressed doctor. I felt totally powerless against the burnout. Enter Vedic meditation. I attended a free introductory class that my (soon to be) teacher held in Chicago one Sunday night. I sat there for an hour, completely mesmerized yet somehow waiting for there to be a hole in his argument that would allow me to leave without signing up for the course. Everything he said not only made sense medically/scientifically, but he was describing stress and its effects on daily life in a way that felt like he knew me, and what I was going through, perfectly. I took a leap.

Here are 5 reasons I will never look back:

1.     The world is full of serendipity, and I had been missing it. Start meditating, and everything starts to seem connected.

2.     At my end-of-rotation feedback sessions, my medical students and residents started to thank me (ME!) for being ‘laid back’ and ‘zen’. Trust me- this was huge.

3.     Everything sparkles a little bit more when you meditate consistently. People are more interesting. Nature dazzles me.

4.     I don’t get angry in traffic anymore. Or in the airport.

5.     Fear is my guide. If I’m kinda scared to do it, that means I should definitely do it. Living on the leading edge of what scares you is exciting, rewarding, and ends up being safer than standing still.
