Side by side text on webpage HTML/CSS

I am trying to put text on this webpage http://ift.tt/2qe7j9m

Where it says On a physical level, meditation: and everything listed as benefits

AND

On a mental level, meditation: and everything listed as benefits

side by side, almost like a table

I have tried

float:left and float:right in CSS But it does not work! I am very new to web page creation and all, so any direction is appreciated! I also tried wrapping the text to be put side to side in tags and if it makes it any easier (didn't for me =[ )
