The simple truth is that it doesn’t matter how much you meditate.

The prestige of your lineage and the books you have read do not matter.

The amount of time you sit, or don’t sit, is irrelevant.

Your philosophy, beliefs, traditions, and practices may have benefits, but in terms of mindfulness - unless those things allow you unfiltered access to the present moment, they are not serving their function and are likely a distraction.

All that matters is the present moment. This talk will ask the questions, ‘Are you present? Are you observing reality as it is, for what it is, right now?’

For the rest of the day, when you notice an intense emotion, thought, mood, memory, or other mental phenomena, take one mindful breath.

That is a long, slow, deep breath, in through the nose and out through the mouth.

Then recognise that you are, at any time, free to make a different decision should you choose to do so. Give it a try.

The mind and body are deeply interconnected; impact one and the other will follow. The breath is a prime example of this connection.

When we slow down the breath and breathe deeply, we are activating the parasympathetic nervous system. This will subsequently result in physiological, then psychological, relaxation.

The practice in this meditation is as follows: slow deep breath to fill the belly, then quick exhale with mouth open like fogging a mirror.

This breathing technique is different to the traditional slow in and slow out breath techniques, and as such, it may produce a different result for you that you have experienced with those techniques.
