feeling relaxed, alert - able to think clearly and concentrate.

Meditation at Work - March 8, 2012 - Many people
assume that meditation at work is not an option. It seems that
it would be too noisy if you work in a factory, or that there
is no place to meditate in an office setting. But in almost any
workplace there are ways to find... Continue

Mindful Eating - February 13, 2012 - Mindful
eating has long been a practice of many meditators, and a staple
of Buddhist teachings as well. But it is gaining more widespread
recognition, according to a recent article on Yahoo News;
Lately, though, such experiments of the mouth and mind
have begun to seep into a secular arena, from the Harvard School
of Public Health to the California campus of Google. In the eyes
of some experts, what seems like the simplest of acts —
eating slowly and genuinely relishing each bite — could
be the remedy for a fast-paced Paula Deen Nation in which an
endless parade of new diets never seems to slow a stampede toward
obesity.
Walking Meditation - Find a fairly level area to take
a walk and do so while simply observing your surroundings and
paying attention to your breath. Breath deeply and comfortably
through your nose, and as thoughts arise just return your attention
to your breath. You may find that things look more vibrant the
less you se them through your ideas and thoughts. Continue this
for about ten minutes or more.

can have is the mysterious. It is the fundamental emotion which
stands at the cradle of true art and true science. - Albert Einstein

A Meditation to Try Today
You can try this simple method to see the benefits of meditation
in just minutes: Sit comfortably, close your eyes, and tense
up your body for a moment. Now breath deeply through your nose
as you release the tension from every muscle one by one. As you
feel each part relaxing, watch for parts that may escape notice,
like a tight jaw. If tension remains somewhere, tense up that
part again, then let it relax.
Let your breathing fall into a comfortable pattern, and pay
attention to it. Be aware of your breath as it passes in and
out of your nose. Though your mind will wander endlessly, all
you have to do is continually bring attention back to your breath.
Is your mind is still too busy? Try naming the distractions
as a way of setting them aside. Try, for example, saying in your
mind, "itchy leg," "worried about work,"
or "anger," and then immediately return attention to
your breathing.
Do this meditation for five or ten minutes, or for 100 breaths.
When you open your eyes, you'll feel relaxed, and your mind will
feel refreshed. You'll be better prepared for any mental challenges.
You can start experiencing the benefits of meditation today.
Why not try it now?
