A One Minute Meditation

This is a one minute meditation -- a free form of mantra meditation. A mantra is a word, sound, object, or phrase –- any point of focus.

Here you can pick any song or melody that you favor. It is simple. You can either hum the tune or sing the words, whatever you prefer. One of the most beautiful melodies I know is "Ave Maria." What I'll do is simply sing the chorus line or hum the melody.

Breathe in slowly and deeply through your nose, and hum a melody you enjoy. Do if for a minute or so. Just listen to the melody, feel it, immerse yourself in the activity.

Dancing is optional...

All those times you were singing in the shower or while you were cooking, lost in the moment, did you know you were meditating?

It is strange, but when we are truly happy we're usually not aware of it because we love the moment. Meditation means awareness. Becoming more aware of what makes you happy and allowing yourself to do the things you love, you learn to meditate more frequently.

And when you train yourself and regularly meditate you might realize that everything is meditation – awareness.

The video below plays the beautiful Gayatri mantra. I hope you will enjoy it as much as I do.
