Meditation Tip #1
Peace in the Midst of Chaos
It’s easy for us to get caught up in our busy world with our minds racing from thought to thought. This rapid-fire of thinking causes stress, and unless we occasionally slow ourselves down and take a moment to rest, we will continue to jump from thought to thought until we are mentally exhausted.
One technique to slow down and rest our minds is to interrupt our busy thinking by taking a moment to focus on something of grace and beauty. If we look for it, we can almost always find grace and beauty in the midst of the most chaotic day. Here’s a meditation that will help you see how this is done.
Close your eyes and imagine yourself asleep. An alarm goes off, and you are late for an appointment. So you jump up and rush to get ready. As you hurriedly get dressed, you take a deep breath and focus on a cat asleep in the next room. A moment later, you are in your car stopped at a traffic light. You feel stressed. So you look around, take deep breath, and focus on how peacefully the clouds move across the sky. Now imagine that you have arrived at your appointment — a little late, but not bad. You have to wait to be seen. As you sit there, you begin to get nervous. You look around, take a deep breath and focus on a plant blowing gracefully by an air vent.
You can almost always find something of grace and peace in the midst of an extremely busy day. At times when your mind is randomly racing from thought to thought, you can interrupt this stressful thinking and enjoy a peaceful moment of meditation when you need it the most. by Jay Tyler © 2001 Meditation Monthly more: >>>
