Meditation techniques for practical living

While deeply profound and reenergizing, meditation is also a handy tool for dealing with the demands of daily living. Here are two very practical meditation techniques:

Breathing Meditation - overcoming inaction – especially while facing looming deadlines

• 

  Inhale deeply and slowly on 2 counts, “one-two,” at your own pace (if you like, close your eyes to filter out sensory distractions)
• Feel this new energy filling up every pore of your being, “three-four”
• Exhale, “five-six” to expel old, inert energy
• Repeat this process a few times, each time feeling an upsurge of dynamic new energy revitalizing your body and mind with a new determination to tackle the job waiting to be completed
• See your soul’s willpower welling up powerfully to complete the job that needs your immediate attention
• Imagine, too, confidence in giving you the added edge to power through your project—and finishing it to the best of your ability

Nature Meditation – rebalancing and getting on with it

• Look out at your garden or sit in your backyard using Nature as a backdrop
• As your vision connects with Mother Nature, focus on a beautiful flower that’s beckoning you with its beauty and fragrance (rose, lily) or a glorious sunset. Look at the flower or sky as a whole then zero in on a specific spot.
• Feel this spot sharing its very essence with you and permeating every pore of your being—while filling you up with Nature’s beauty, purity and serenity
• Allow Mother Nature to nurture your senses, to refocus and rebalance you naturally, as you empty out lethargy, restlessness and unwilling energy
• Enjoy these precious moments as long as you like, or shorter as time permits
• Gently slip out of meditation by wiggling your toes, stretching your arms and yawning, as you feel re-empowered and grateful to reenter the world again
• And, welcome Life’s ongoing challenges as stepping stones to making progress with your life
