Meditation Is for You

TECHNIQUE & INSTRUCTIONS

If your body is in one place, you can be sure your mind will be somewhere else! If your body is at home, your mind will be in the office, worrying about work! Just keeping the mind and body in the same place is itself a great meditation. Whatever you are doing, suddenly ask yourself, 'Are you there?' As soon as you consciously ask yourself this, your mind will stop wandering. Your thinking will stop, and you will directly fall into the present moment! Now, reply to your question, 'Yes.' Keep trying this whenever you can remember. See how long it takes for the 'Yes' to happen each time. The sooner you are able to answer the question, the sooner you are breaking free from the thought-chain and returning to the present.

If your 'Yes' happens instantly, wonderful! You are already in present-moment awareness.

You can try this particularly before going to sleep. When you center your awareness before going to sleep, you will fall directly into dreamless sleep.
