One-Minute Meditations

Submitted by Rita Arens on Fri, Feb 11, 2011

I spent yesterday getting sick and today I woke up with a fever. Yesterday all I could manage was a one-minute meditation, in which I just needed to not think about how miserable I felt and how behind I was at work.

What I noticed is that even one minute of closing my eyes and breathing deeply was helpful. It didn't make me feel any better, but the deep breathing really does center me.

I love the idea of one minute meditations, Rita. It's a wonderful model. Just imagine how many 1 minute meditations we might have through the course of  day! I think I will try a day of this... thanks for the inspiration.

Oh, good!

I'm glad you like the idea, Riva. I'm sure it's not original. It's just that I'm feeling so rotten I can't even focus enough to meditate for real!
