the breathing taking place in your body right now.

With these simple steps you are well on you have discovered how easy it is to meditate. To make it even easier I recommend you make an agreement with yourself to keep it up for at least 20 minutes a day for 30 days. Even if on some days you only manage to sit for 5 minutes just before you go to bed or first thing in the morning, this will make a positive difference. Just so long as every day you intentionally stop what you are doing and be aware. This will help to establish meditation as a positive habit pattern. Once that occurs your other-than-conscious mind will strongly compel you to feel like meditating every day, and then it is much easier to stick with it. Essentially you become positively addicted to meditation, and then you'll find it easy as can be to keep it up every day and experience the many great benefits this will bring you. What are some of those benefits?

- Increased inner peace
- Deeper relaxation and feeling less stressed - Heightened creativity, ingenuity, and intuition - Improved health and self-healing

One closing point for your consideration: The next time you sit to meditate give up the inclination to reflect on your previous meditation experience. Cultivate a sense that this is the first time you have attempted meditation, every time. This keeps your attention fresh, alive, and present to here and now. Just as I recommend not self-critically comparing your experience to other people, you can also enjoy the freedom of not comparing your current experience with the memory of your past experience. Simply be here, now.
