Because, for me, meditation tends to a bit of a grind, I’ve set the title of my most recent upload to youtube to poke a little fun at how dull it can be. I have to push myself to “sit” and I often blame those background-running cognitive processes (also known in popular Buddhist parlance as “monkey mind”) for sabotaging my best intentions. It’s a conspiracy theory! Those processes have self-protecting memes that don’t want me to sit and learn how to let go of my egocentric notions, so they are going to keep telling me I have better things to do. Sometimes, those thoughts seem a little nuts. Sometimes, they seem quite logical. Ah, duality.
Anyway, here is a link to a text file that has the instructions for simple breathing meditation as given in the video.
