Three Minute Meditation

We are always short of time, just can't find those 20 minutes for meditation. What about three minutes? It is better to spend three minutes in meditation and repeat it several times during the day than not do it at all. Here are five simple steps:

1. Close your eyes.
2. Sit so that your back is straight but not stiff.
3. Become aware of your breathing [Awareness of breathing is not the same thing as thinking about it. Feel your breath. You can feel your breath in your nostrils, in your chest or in your belly. Feeling your breath in your chest or belly is better.]
4. Do not let your thoughts wander away. If they wander away please bring them back to the present moment.
5. Sit in this posture for thee minutes
