While counter intuitive, my higher Self recognized the wisdom in his words. Increase the hours in the day through meditation: During the times throughout my life when I feel overwhelmed and stressed out my mind replays a time scarcity message over and over again, “I don’t have enough time in the day to get all that I have to complete.” Lama Surya Das recommends that stress periods in our lives are the perfect time to meditate as it results in expanding time. While my daily meditation may not be the traditional 20 minutes in a meditation chair, I get seven 3 minute meditations and more presence throughout my day. Waiting in the grocery line, getting tea, brushing my teeth, sitting idle at a stop light have been transmuted from impatient inconveniences to meditative moments. Life is a moving meditation: I’ve started trying to sneak in short 3 minute meditation through a given day. Here are tips from Lama Surya Das’ book Buddha Standard Time and how I have adopted these in my full and busy life to short meditations. They’re perfect to practice while you are waiting on your cup of tea to steep or for the water to boil. In just 3 minutes a day you can relax your way to a better lifestyle. If you desire to relax deeper than you ever have, then try the 3 Minute Meditations. That’s why Lama Surya Das created a 3 minute short meditation course. Setting aside as little as 3 minutes a day can help you stay calm when everyone around you is losing it. One of the best things about meditation is that it can be enjoyed by all. It’s a time out from the anxieties of daily living and can help you feel more focused. Daily meditation is great for your body and your mind.
