One day when I stepped off
the elevator at the college where I teach psychology courses, a former student
was standing in the reception area. She came toward me, gave me
a warm close hug and said “Thank you." I asked her “what did I do?”
She said, “Meditation.” “you taught me how to Meditate … Meditation has helped
me soo many times … Thank you.” She then scurried off to the tasks that she had
to do that day.
If one Googles “meditation”
the browser will bring up over 135 million hits. If one explores Barnes &
Noble bookstore you will find over 48 thousand books on meditation. I am sure that each of these
books or articles on meditation provide different perspectives and techniques
for meditation.
The meditation that I taught
my student is simple – it is a breathing meditation. It is easy to learn, and
can be practiced anywhere.
