I would like to remind you that it is not simply putting aside a time to mediate every day but really how to tap into the power of the present moment many times throughout your day. A regular seated meditation practice is powerful but the SELF exercises I am going to suggest are to give you more opportunities to reconnect to your inner guru in all you do.
By adding SELF exercises to your regular daily routine you will see how easy it can be. Like most of you I live a busy life. I wake up at 7am and go about a busy day until my head hits the pillow between 10 and 11pm. I have found that giving priority to being present helps me do everything better. Here are some things I do.
1. Morning Ritual. While I am still in bed, I take a couple of minutes before I get up to think about my dreams and see if I felt there were any messages in them and intend my day. I picture the outcome I want in any particular event I have planned.
2. Teeth Brushing Ritual. As I take my first glance in the mirror I take some extra time to look at myself in the eyes and remind myself, “you have everything you need for a great day”
3. Meditation Ritual. I then get up while still sleepy and go to the couch and sit for my morning meditation. I meditate for about 30 minutes.
4. Breakfast Ritual. Before I choose what to have for breakfast I ask myself, “What would be the best breakfast for me to have today so that I feel full of energy?"
5. Shower Ritual. Either while in the shower while washing my body or afterwards, while applying lotion, I adore my body. I thank it, I massage it, and if I feel any aches, pains or soreness, I send a loving message of well-being. Sometimes simply saying, you will heal soon, you know what to do.
