A Simple, Effective MeditationThis is a featured page

Are you having a tough time to fit your daily meditation into your busy schedule? Even if you're not, here is a little meditation that you can do anywhere and anytime, even if you only have a minute or so.

The meditation is one that is done and recommended by Thich Nhat Hanh, and appears to be too simple to be effective, but it is used by experienced meditators on a daily basis.

Give it a try! I hope it brings you some peace - Dad/Papa/Robin.

Whether you are sitting, standing, or lying down, just try to be as comfortable as possible. Your breathing should be long and gentle but silent. Repeat the following slowly as many times as you have time for:

1 - While inhaling, say to yourself "Breathing in, I calm my body"
2 - While exhaling, say to yourself "Breathing out, I smile"
3 - While inhaling, say to yourself "Dwelling in the present moment"
4 - While exhaling, say to yourself "I know this is a wonderful moment"

After some practice, you can shorten the phrases to the following:

1 - Inhaling: "Calming"
2 - Exhaling: "Smiling"
3 - Inhaling: "Present moment"
4 - Exhaling: "Wonderful moment"
