2 Minute Meditation

I’m writing a series of meditations, starting at 1 minute and going up till I’m not sure how long, designed to illustrate how much can be accomplished in a short time with some devotion and attention. The inspired meditator is pointed to the enormity of the smallest instant of time, and the immeasurable speed and scope of the mind. Each successive meditation contains more guidance, but also more silence for practice.

If you've ever had your entire life turned upside down,

You've never had a dream come down in one instant.

You can appreciate how long two minutes is.

We have these two minutes to completely dedicate to practice.

It's a gift.

Let the quality of your attention take on the wish for well-being that brought you to meditation in the first place.

It's an act of kindness,

Goodwill,

Generosity to give your precious time to practice.

Two minutes to turn your world right side up.

Open this generous awareness to your body as a whole,

Sitting in this space with the ever-flowing breath at the center,

Continually nourishing the body.

Like a metaphor for the continual nourishment we receive from the eternal energy,

The fountain not made by man.
