MEDITATIVE MOMENTS

A REMINDER TO SELF

MEDITATIVE MOMENTS

Meditative Moments can be done anywhere, anytime and making it a habit empowers us in amazing ways.

It is so simple that you fulfil your meditation requirement everyday by making meditation moments as you move through your day.

For this meditation I ask people to make a reminder for themselves. It can be a reminder on their phone alarm, or it can be a simple stone or rock they found in nature on their walk sometime.
Just make your meditation moments a play, nothing serious.

On this smooth side of the rock, with a dark sketch pen you can write a positive reminder word like, ‘magic or alert or remember or notice or be aware’ any one of these words to remind you to pause a few seconds to deeply notice whatever is in front of you. By this you create meditative moments.

Examples of meditative moments are such as these.
If you are hugging your child, look into his eyes for a few seconds and feel his presence in your life. Do this just for 10 seconds and then continue with your day.
If you are working on your computer stop for just ten seconds and notice deeply the computer’s presence, notice your hands as they help you communicate with the computer.
If you are washing dishes, stop, create a meditative moment for ten seconds, just notice the smoothness of the soap, the coolness of the water.
If you are walking take a meditative moment for just 10 seconds, notice and feel your feet as they place themselves on the earth, notice the support the earth gives your body.
As you are eating, take a meditative moment for just ten seconds, notice your hands feeding your mouth, notice the food being moved by your tongue so effectively, feel the taste, feel yourself as you swallow the food.
As you go to sleep take a meditative moment and just for ten seconds feel the bed, the pillow, the sheets, the comfort they give your body.
Take a meditative moment many times during the day by just closing your eyes for ten seconds and notice the sound of your breath, focus on your breath move from your nostrils to your lungs and from your lungs out through your nostrils. Focus on one complete cycle of your breath.

Use your phone alarm to remind you to take a meditative moment at least 3 times a day the first week, then increase the number of times the next week. Practice and make a habit of it.

If you are using your favorite smooth stone or rock, write a reminder on it and place it in a place where you can see it. And then as you see it stop and take a meditative moment with whatever you are doing at that time. Just for ten seconds, and then continue to go on with your day.

These deep moments of noticing are actually a state of appreciation for life.

When you get into this habit, it is amazing to note that you have actually started to make your attitude of gratitude in a big way.
You have started to create moments of appreciation and gratitude in your life thereby increasing the value of everything in your life in amazing ways.

Spiritually it is said that the attitude of gratitude is the most powerful place to be because it keeps you in the place of peace and abundance. Neuro science says that when we are making gratitude a habit, we help our brain to release happy and healing hormones that keep our body in wellness and ease.

The purpose of life is to live in this now moment, to recognize the gifts of this now moment and to understand and appreciate who you really are.

Meditative moments of just ten seconds in your busy day is an extraordinary practice.
It is a most wonderful practice that helps you go deeper within yourself, to deeply experience life, and it helps you to gain a deeper connection with your own Divinity and the entire Cosmos.
Blessings!
