Meditation to Go! | Psychology Today

I enjoyed the article in Psychology Today that this extract is taken from.

What do you do every day… maybe many times a day? Open the door of your car? Wash your hands? Turn on your computer? There are a million of them. If you choose even one of those rote, means-to-an-end kind of things and decide to attach an altogether different meaning to it, it will become the repetition that you already do, in service of your own private meditative practice. And you’ll be doing it many times a day. And without having to push away your busy world. And while you are doing something you had to do anyway.What is it you would like to meditate on?

And how would you like to meditate? Whatever form you know or create can be put into a “to go” version. My mantra? I’ll say it once every time I open my car door. My mindfulness practice? While washing my hands. My prayer for peace? Every time I turn on the computer. Chanting? In the shower. Breath work? Every time I sit down, just one conscious, deep belly breath. Just one. One word, one breath, one moment of consciousness, one prayer, one chant, one… whatever it is that you do to build that magnificent structure that is you.
