W: Jackie, you look fantastic. Is it yoga that helps you recover so soon from your stroke?
M: Yes. It helps a lot. All the bending, stretching of my body and meditation.
W: Meditation? What is meditation?
M: Hmm. A good question. In my instructor’s words, meditation is a huge variety of techniques that are used to move people into the moment.
W: What kind of techniques? Can you give me an example?

W: Sounds peaceful. And how long have you been meditating?
M: (13) Since I was hit by the stroke. Then I began to think a lot about my health and I learned physical health and mental health are inseparable. I was too moody and the bad temper does harm to my body.
W: So meditation is very transformational.
M: Yes, very. I could sit for over five minutes at the beginning, but gradually, I could control my breath and my mind better and better. I now really enjoy the peace of mind.

M: (14-2) I have a plan to go there next year. But I do know some very good yoga instructors here in New York. They are masters and help me a lot.
W: Is it possible that you introduce some good instructors to me? I think I can use my spare time more wisely.
M: Of course I can. Maybe we can practice yoga together sometime.
