When we get in the mode of feeling overwhelmed by the sheer volume of work and life our minds tend to run at a frenetic pace just trying to keep up. It's as if we somehow believe that if our mind thinks about all the things we have to do fast enough, that we may get some of it done...or all of it. Set this delusion aside. Work will be here long after we're gone.
Exactly at the moment when we feel we need to speed up, pause.
It's a meditation that anyone can do if they take 2 minutes. Here's how it works:
- Get a timer
- Set it to 2 minutes
- Find a chair or place to stand where you can be comfortable
- Close your eyes and click the timer
- Envision that your absolute nature is pure light. The light is pure white and blinding.
- Hold this vision until the timer goes off.
- After the timer beeps your done.
Now, you have a chance to observe your surroundings. If you do this enough you'll want to stay in this mode of meditation for longer and longer durations. What happens as a result of timing it is that you are giving your brain permission to get very still, to slow down, and to focus on one concept. Once you have done this a few times you will notice some very interesting things. Your memory is likely to improve. Your mood will be elevated, and life will seem much easier to deal with because it really will be. You are actively engaging for the duration of two minutes with an ancient Truth.
