Amysmom... I incorporate all manner of things into my lifestyle that others consider "alternative." Yet, as I mentioned, I find them in the Bible. God, in my belief, created all things for good. HE made all the things we can use to improve ourselves and make this life wonderful. God wants us to prosper and be content too!
The Psalms are full of meditations, the NT is full of Scripture talking about putting on the mind of Christ, not worrying for anything, finding peace and contentment. Once I'm done readying for my big trip (or after) I'll begin digging those out for us all here.
