		<description><![CDATA[Mizu no Kokoro [mind like water] is a Japanese phrase which means &#8220;A state of mind similar to water: flowing, reflective and adaptive.&#8221; I like this phrase. When a mind is like water, you are &#8216;here and now&#8217;. You are still, calm and at peace with yourself. You are completely engrossed in what you are [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=livexcel.com&amp;blog=950099&amp;post=69&amp;subd=milindsathe&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
