What is the relationship between strong abs and meditation?

I just had a wonderful conversation with a good friend of mine about good health, the future of the USA, strong abs, meditation, P90X (www.teambeachbody.com/bringitwell), strength for life (Shawn Philips new book) and aging boomers (us).

As eclectic as it sounds or looks to the reader there was a thread through it which I thought would generate some interesting discussions and please do!

Recently I took my exercise and training to a whole new level through an amazing course called P90X and one of its component trainings is yoga. I have noticed this has started affecting my consciousness around meditation and seeing first hand the mind body relatioinship between my posture and the power of the meditation. I am sure many of you are saying duh, what did you expect, and I think I may have said that to someone wagging their tale in the wake of their own self discovery.

But to actually see and experience it for oneself is the essence of excitement and real transformation isn't it? Anyway through P90X my abs are finallly getting strong and so I can now constantly correct the sagging in this beautiful and essential practice. It is a great discovery as I go into teaching my first meditation course at Summer School in the Berkshires (http://mail.pittsfield.net/teachersites/Carroll_Lawrence/Meditation).

Thanks for reading and I'd love to hear from someone about my post.
Be Well
