A quick meditation practice for any time of day.

10/9/2015

0 Comments

 
Several meditation teachers have been presenting a quick meditation practice to use any time of day.  It is particularly useful when you are feeling anxious,tense, or you are tempted to zone out.  It goes by the acronym STOP.

The S in STOP means stop what you are doing for a second.

The T means take a few deep breaths.

The O means observe your thoughts, body sensations and emotions.  Try just to observe and not judge or resist.

And P means proceed with what you were doing.

Meditation is not just the formal practice we do on the cushion.  I'll be presenting practices we can bring to bear in ordinary life from time to time.
