Meditation In A Busy Life

In this module we look at some of the misconceptions around meditation. It's very different now than it was 2,500 years ago, when more people were monks or nuns devoting their whole life to their spiritual practice. You don't have to meditate for hours for it to be effective.

This is module two of meditation in a busy life, finding space in your schedule. In the first module, you started to look at what misconceptions you have around meditation that might be holding you back from practising more regularly. The chances are that, although you might have a busy life, you're not busy all the time.

The Buddhist said there are four postures that we go through throughout the day. We move from one to the other. Lying down, walking, sitting and standing. For example, this might be walking around your house, or in the garden, or walking to the shops, or if you commute to work, walking to the train or the bus stop.

This is module four of meditation in a busy life, stress, overwhelm, and the reset button. If you're busy, you're probably feeling stressed a lot of the time, and that is not good for the body. It's not good for your physical health or your mental health. There might be so many things that you need to do that leave you feeling overwhelmed, and you don't know where to start.

This is module five of meditation in a busy life. Each module has been building on the other. Now you've got all the the tools to create a sustainable practice. By now you will have found some time in your day for micro practices, a few minutes here and there, and you're building these habits that fit into your busy life.
