Meditation Is for You

INSTRUCTIONS

Every morning, first thing upon waking, stretch yourself like a baby. Have you noticed babies stretching when they wake up after sleep? Stretch this way and that, bend and twist your body. Feel every muscle being stretched! Then, without opening your eyes, begin to laugh.

At first it will require some effort. But soon real laughter will begin to bubble up within you. If nothing else, just your comic attempts at laughter will be enough to make you really laugh!

Once the laughter takes you over, just let go. There is no duration. Laugh till you are tired of laughing.

As you progress, you will find that you are able to sustain the laughter longer and longer. The Buddha has said that if one can laugh continuously for just forty-five minutes, one can become enlightened! Just forty-five minutes of laughing!

So laugh as long as you can.

You will find the energy to keep laughing surge within you.

Long after you finish laughing, the waves of laughter will still be there in you, just beneath the surface.

Just a few minutes of morning laughter can transform your whole day!

LEAP BEFORE YOU LOOK!
