A Well Known Fact:

Our attention affects the structure and chemistry of our bodies and the clarity of our minds..

Maybe you’ve had to rush; maybe you’re feeling irritated, annoyed or tired. Perhaps your body is feeling stressed and you haven’t been getting enough sleep. Today’s How to be happy in fifteen minutes or less is called Mini Meditation because meditation isn’t necessarily sitting for a prolonged period of time in a pretzel-like posture or chanting sonorously until bliss is reached...though these can be done to achieve an inner state of joy and union with our source. Mini Meditations are exactly that short concentrated periods of giving attention to a desired outcome or state, over one to five minute periods several times a day. Mini meditation are simple, fast, easy, reduce tension and increase focus and performance.

Regardless of where you are, as long as you are not operating any heavy machinery, equipment or motorized vehicles, then you can safely and easily do this. Find a comfortable seat somewhere and relax your body by taking a few slow deep breaths. With each exhale, let the muscles in your body relax and allow the thoughts in your mind go silent...then consider what you want to alter or change at this time and begin thinking and imagining the alteration you’d like i.e. If I’m tired I’m going to put my attention the idea that my body is being refreshed, reenergized, rejuvenated and revitalized and I’ll say those words with power and authority. If I want to have a clearer focus I might say, “my mind is becoming clearer, sharper and more perceptive with each passing moment.” You can choose any idea or thought that you want to begin experiencing, the key points are this...spend only one to five minutes each time you choose to do this, get relaxed, quiet your mind, think upon your idea (s) with authority and...

Have a great day!
