Meditation For The Modern Woman: Twice a Day

WELLNESS | by POSY GERING

WHEN I THINK OF MEDITATION, I used to assume it could happen only in a certain (uncomfortable) posture on a special pillow in a special place for a long time.

But I changed my point of view from thinking it was about achieving some external form to believing it’s about giving myself an experience of quieting my mind, finding clarity and feeling alive in my skin.

With that model, I realized that I have been meditating twice a day for years: the two minutes when I’m brushing my teeth. I love brushing my teeth. I do it the same way, with attention and care, every day. I slow down. My mind becomes quiet and focused. I breathe. I feel my self.

What can be better than the feeling of clean teeth?
