Brief Meditations

Sometimes you may be too busy to meditate.

That's when you do a brief, or very brief practice.  Brief means five minutes and very brief can be as little as one minute.  Even one minute can be worthwhile.

This practice is especially helpful if you have insomnia.

• Decide on how much time you can use
• Sit, stand or lie down
• Open or close your eyes
• Focus on your breathing for the amount of time you have
• Stop

That's all there is to it.  Of course a longer amount of time is preferable, but even the busiest of people  can spare one minute.
