Meditation, Now Who Has Time For That?

Now, I'm not even the busiest of people, though my life is kind of a rollercoaster of what-the-heck-is-going-on-right-now. Meditation is a recommended thing in being pagan, and honestly I'd recommend it to anyone, pagan or not. It's relaxing, calming, and helps you feel a little more ready to face the crazyiness we call the everyday.

But the thing is, who has time for it?

Honestly, everyone days, and oddly enough, for something that's so easy, my biggest problem is often I find myself being to lazy to do it. Yeah, that's right. I'm too lazy to sit still for ten minutes. No, it really doesn't make sense, but bear with me.

I've decided what will make it easiest, is if I wait for a moment when I just stop; you know, when you go and go, and then all of a sudden you're thrown off, because, hold up, you just stumbled into five free moments.

Just stop. Don't look for something to do. Just sit down, settle yourself, close your eyes, and breathe. It's that simple. Don't think. Just sit, breathe, and focus. Five minutes, ten minutes, however long your minutes of free time is. I promise it'll make your day just a little easier to handle. (and I hear that it helps open you to your inner psychic, if you do it right, but that's another time!)
