How many fifteen minutes do you have in a day? How difficult is it to spend 1/96 of your 15 minutes in a day thinking about nothing? No thinking, but only feeling – feeling your breathing rhythm. That’s meditation for beginners.
It’s quite difficult. The untrained mind is a wandering mind – lack of concentration, full of self-doubt. The first few times are the hardest because you feel like you are not making any progress. But you will be rewarded for your perseverance. Concentration – that’s the key.
With concentration, comes mindfulness and with mindfulness comes insight. An insight into life, into the paradoxical world of chaos and peace – an insight that will give you the answer, help you understand and lead you to acceptance of everything in this world. It is then you will achieve tranquility of mind.
Try it. It’ll only take 15 minutes of your day. I’m sure you have lots to spare.
