Meditation for Busy People

Meditation for Busy People
Stress-beating Strategies to Calm Your Life
Book — Also available in other formats: eBook

Nobody needs meditation more than people who have no time to meditate. Most traditional meditation techniques were developed thousands of years ago for people living very different lives, and busy people today don't find it easy to just sit down and relax. But a morning commute can become a centering exercise, and the street noises outside an apartment window can become an aid, rather than a distraction, to finding the silent space within. Beautifully illustrated, this book is a perfect gift for your busy self, or a busy friend.

Excerpt from: Meditation for Busy People, Accept the Ups and Downs
"One has to become more accepting of all the ups and downs in life. There is a rhythm: sometimes you will feel that you are in tune, sometimes you will feel that you are not in tune; that is natural. It is like day and night, summer and winter. One has to learn the shadow part of everything. If you cannot accept the shadow part you become unnecessarily disturbed, and that disturbance will make things more complicated.
"When something beautiful happens, accept it, feel grateful; when it doesn't happen, accept that too and continue to feel grateful, knowing that this is just a resting period. For the whole day you have worked, and in the night you fall asleep don't feel miserable because you are not able to work and earn money and do a thousand and one things, and there are so many things to do. You don't worry about it!

"There are people who do worry. Then they start losing sleep, and they are not benefited by it. The person who has not been able to sleep in the night feels exhausted in the morning, more tired than he was when he went to bed. The person who forgets the whole day and accepts night as a rest, and goes into deep relaxation, will be able to live again in the morning with new eyes and new being. She will be able to accept the new day and welcome it, will be glad to breathe the air again and to see the sun and people.

"Remember always that everything has its rest period. And the rest period is not against the activity, the rest period gives it energy, vitality." Osho
