How to Meditate in Every Moment
When I started meditating a couple of years ago, I sat in meditation for a half hour every morning and night, so about an hour every day. It felt right at that time. I had a lot to observe in my mind.
I wrote about how I used to meditate and also about how meditation and mindfulness changes the brain, if you would like to read about that.
Since then, the time I spend in sitting meditation has decreased. Not because I meditate less, but because I realized that you don’t have to sit with eyes closed in order to meditate.
Also, by sitting in meditation for an hour every day for about a year, I’ve learned the habits of my mind. Now, I can identify these habits as they arise, no matter what I’m doing. I know how my mind works, and I know how to respond to it. That’s something you have to familiarize yourself with first.
My aim is to meditate as much as I can - to keep my mind in the constant state of peace.
That is, of course, not possible, especially if you live a normal human life, like I do, not secluded in a peaceful forest which you don’t have to leave.
So, amidst all the daily duties we have to remember, how can we keep our minds clear? It certainly seems like a paradox.
Here are a couple of tips that can make the process easier: Read more>>

➜I don’t know how to love without using my whole heart. I don’t know what its like to love someone halfway. I practice giving love in the same way I’d like to receive it.Reyna Biddy (via lovelustquotes)

➜I wanted you to tell me I was the love of your life. I felt as if you were mine. I have once heard a quote about how sometimes you’re not the one for the person who is yours. But I don’t feel that way anymore. There are different kinds of love, I learned that with you. My love for you filled me up until there was no more space to breathe. Your love for me emptied your mind and there was too much void. There are loud loves that make your head spin as if you’re underwater, there are silent loves that are peaceful enough so you don’t think at all. I didn’t know if your love for me was really love, but I’ve come to the realization that maybe I’m just another sucker for loves that make you feel out of your mind. There are different kinds of love, and I am sorry we loved in different ways. I will find someone who feels just as crazy, or who makes me feel just as sane.Mariana Meyer (via flawlur)
