What's Simplest, Fastest, and Still Gives All These Benefits?

You can meditate in less than a minute...try this Centering exercise:


Settle back in a comfortable position, close your eyes, and count three full, deep, easy breaths to yourself. Now for these next several breaths as you inhale, say the phrase Let Be to yourself; and as you exhale, say the phrase Let Go to yourself. Be as fully present with all that happens as possible, and when you feel complete for now in this experience, gradually return to full, waking consciousness and open your eyes.


How Do You Feel?


See what comes up inside you in response to this question, noticing all your sensations. Fifteen minutes of meditating has been said by Dr. Herbert Benson, author of The Relaxation Response, to provide the equivalent of a full night's restful sleep. I might also add there are no side effects, it is FREE (and what in the world other than breathing these days is?), and there is no required certification, higher level degree, or additional equipment necessary than your own amazing mind and central will.


I rest my case, and your well-being, on your willingness to set your breath - and yourself free. Happy experimenting!
