Meditation in the Workplace?

prostoalex writes "Nortel, Texas Instruments, Raytheon, Google, Apple and many others are apparently finding meditation and yoga to be a very efficient way to motivate and energize the employees. BusinessWeek finds that the reasons companies are suddenly hiring the yoga experts and conducting regular classes are easily justified to the management: "increased brain-wave activity, enhanced intuition, better concentration, and the alleviation of the kinds of aches and pains that plague employees most"."

This company (a startup even) has, so far:
1. Painted the CFO's new office (built while we were working in our cubicles) during work hours; causing most of us to escape to the outdoors to avoid brain damage from the fumes
2. Allowed the office management at the new building to BANG ON THE DAMN ROOF ALL YESTERDAY AND EVEN WORSE SO FAR TODAY
My compass is so off right now that I'd be thrilled with mere cell-phone rings. Yoga? Is there a way I can use that to turn off my senses?
