A simple and quick meditation routine

Since one of the major goals of meditation is to get a person out of the past and future, and into the now (see my earlier posting on this), here is a simple and quick meditation to refresh you if things are getting a little hectic.

Your solar plexus is that tender part of your body located roughly at the point where your rib cage ends. Begin by closing your eyes and taking one or more deep breaths. Then imagine an elevator door located right at your solar plexus.

Also, imagine yourself approaching that very elevator and hitting the "Up" button. As the door opens, imagine yourself walking inside and the door closing once again. On the panel is listed only one floor – floor "R" for roof. In this case, the roof is the top of your head.

Push the R button and feel yourself slowly begin to ascend. The elevator is connected to your very backbone as you slowly climb towards the top of your head. Don't hurry, just relax and enjoy the ride.

Eventually you will find yourself outside of your own body, consciously, at least. Enjoy the view and let your mind clear. When you are ready, simply open your eyes and return to your life refreshed and with increased calmness.

Try it!
