Eventually, you’ll want to make the connection between occasionally practicing simple awareness in the world and practicing it continually with respect to your own thoughts and perceptions. Think about this: you can observe your thoughts and actions the way you observe the world, without constant judgment, and simply allow yourself to be as you are.

Meditation for Maniacs

Are you a person who always has something to do? Chances are, this describes you (or you wouldn’t be reading a book about stress management!). Life is demanding, pulling you in all different directions. You, like most people, probably feel like a maniac at least some of the time. It’s vital to your physical, emotional, and psychological health to break the spiral of intensity. You can learn to stop the madness for a few minutes and then dive right back in, refreshed and better able to cope.

One excellent way to do this is to use the three-breath technique. You can do this anytime, anywhere. All you have to do is recognize the signs of stress. As soon as you start to feel overwhelmed, stop for a minute. Say to yourself, I need a break. Take three breaths with your full attention on each one. Start by fully exhaling. Then calmly, carefully observe the next breath coming in. Feel it expanding inside you, and think to yourself, Thank you. Hold the breath for an instant, and then let it out slowly, thinking to yourself, Let go. Repeat this twice more. Don’t cheat yourself. You have time to do this carefully, slowly, and mindfully.
