      Brief mindfulness

      From some Buddhist traditions comes the advice of doing ultrabrief meditation sessions..

      Who canīt say not to have 3 seconds every hour to notice sensorial experience, to disrupt the incessant flow of self referential processing ?

      As a young physician, i sometimes challenge patients to practice 5 min of exercise everyday...The hardest part is always to start, but when you picture that it will be easier ( or take less time for that matter) it's not so difficult and you may indeed extend your practice time

      Regarding meditation, ultrashort meditation sessions is something i have been experiencing for some time and i think itīs the way to go for most of us.

      One simple mindful exercise might be to touch your own arm and feel it, every hour at least
      FryingMan, DreamyBear and Sageous like this.
      Check your memory, did any suprising event happpen ? does the present make sense ? visualize what you will do when lucid, and how. Reality check as reminder of your intention to lucid dream tonight. Sleep as good as you can; when going to sleep, relax and invite whatever comes with curiosity. Grab your dream journal immediately as you awake and write everything you can recall (if only when you wake up for good). Keep calm, positive and persistent, and don't forget to have fun along the way

      When I started practicing vipassana meditation each day for 20 minutes I started experiencing these mini-meditations without actually trying to do them. They just happen naturally during the day.
