Meditative Moments can be done anywhere, anytime and making it a habit empowers us in amazing ways.
It is so simple that you fulfill 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 the smooth side of a rock, with a dark sketch pen you can write a positive reminder word like, ‘meditate’ or ‘alert’ or ‘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. You come into the Present moment.
There are many ways to come into the Present Moment many times during your day.
If you are hugging your child or a loved one, look into their eyes for a few seconds and feel their 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 and the dish you are holding in your hand.
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.
Just take a moment your eyes for ten seconds and notice the sound of your breath, focus as your breath moves from your nostrils to your lungs and from your lungs out through your nostrils. Focus on one complete cycle of your breath.
Make such simple meditative moments many times during the day
You can also 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 states of appreciation for life. You enter the Present Moment and there is power in the Present Moment. There is great healing and relaxation, the light of understanding happens, solutions and answers fall into place,
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.
Neuroscience 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 the Present 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 a powerful 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 with the entire Cosmos.
Blessings!
