The Five Principles Meditation

Consider the Principles

Spend some time focusing on the five principles in turn. Consider these questions:

1. What does this principle mean to you personally?
2. Do you struggle with this principle, or does it come naturally to you?
3. How would your life be different if you embodied this principle every day?
