Make the most of every minute...

Do you think that meditation needs a special environment or special time? "Wrong," says Osho Times. "Meditation depends more on your inner state than anything else." It can be done any minute no matter what you are doing. It is making the most of every minute you live.

Joy of showering

While taking a shower, be conscious of the coolness that is coming over you; feel the joy of water falling on you.

Starting the day

Start with awareness about your actions, body, mind and heart. Walking, you should walk with awareness. Moving your hand, you should move it with awareness.

Tasting tea

Ordinary tea can become extraordinarily beautiful; drinking it can be a tremendous experience. Making tea can be a ceremony. Listen to the kettle and the sound. Then pour the tea, inhaling its fragrance. Taste the tea and feel happy. The dead cannot drink tea! Feel thankful for drinking tea this moment!

Commitment

If one wants to live an intense life, one needs deep commitment. Each moment has to be a commitment. Then the energy will flare up and become a bigger flame day by day.

Breath and belly

Become aware of breathing. As the breath goes in, your belly starts settling down again. And the belly is very close to the sources of life because the child is linked to the mother through the navel. So when the belly rises up, with each breath, the life energy, the spring of life, too rises up and then comes down. As you become more aware of the belly, the mind becomes silent, the heart becomes silent and moods disappear.

Slipping into sleep

Before you slip into sleep and lose consciousness, the mind is getting ready to go to sleep. Witness what is happening.
