A Meditation on the Center of the Body.

When you quiet the mind and relax, it is then that you can meet your true self. Just relax into the stillness. If your mind wanders, don't worry, just reel it back in. If it wanders again, it's OK. Just bring it back, back to the center, and let your mind rest at the center of your body. Breathe into it. You will find that spot. You will know when you bring your mind to the center of your body. You will feel a complete familiarity with the center of your body. Take a breath while you focus on the center. Picture something to focus on there, like the sun, a shining star, or a flower. You can hold your image there. Just relax. There are all types of meditation for all types of people, all types of temperaments and all types of moods that we have from one time of meditation that we sit for, to the next. This is a brief overview, for a touch of one, to see how it feels.

Did you meditate today?

There is always time to meditate. Meditation is the only way to get to know your true self. Can you find five minutes to turn off the phone, close the laptop and get comfortable in a quiet space. Close your eyes and just observe the breath. If your mind wanders it is OK. Just gently bring your focus back to the breath. Notice the breath at the tip of the nose. I observe a short breath going in and I observe a long breath going out. It is simple to do. Do you notice a spot where you feel tension such as behind the eyes or shoulders? Is your stomach tight? Just let yourself relax each area while exhaling and those areas will loosen. There is no objective, no goal to reach. Just keep it simple and relax.
