Meditation Is for You

INSTRUCTIONS

When was the last time you really looked at something? Or listened? Or tasted? Or smelt or touched? All the things you have been doing all your life, now do them again, as if for the first time.

Whenever you are walking and you see something, maybe a flower, stop.

Collect your awareness and look at the flower again.

Take in its colour. Let your nostrils absorb its fragrance.

If it has no fragrance, notice that!

Touch and feel the texture of the petals, the way they feel against your fingers.

You will feel the difference.

Are you sure you have ever seen this flower before?

The whole quality of the flower has changed.

It looks radiant.

Actually, it is not the flower which has changed.

It is your way of looking.

When your looking changes, your listening changes, your touching changes – the world changes. When you connect, it is a new world every moment.

Carry this practice with you all the time. Actually, you cannot even practice it, you can only hold it in your heart, and let the transformation happen.
