My 2022 New Year’s Resolutions
One is about meditation, the other’s about the spiritual path.
My last article of the year is about what I want to focus on next year. I try to keep my New Year’s resolutions spare — usually just one. This year it’s two.
I find the fewer I have, the more likely I’ll follow through. Here they are.
1. ADD A SECOND MEDITATION SESSION TO MY DAILY ROUTINE.
My resolution for 2013, as I wrote about last week, was to develop a regular meditation practice. Nine years later, I’m still going strong, meditating every morning for fifteen minutes.
It’s the best decision I ever made. I’m calmer, clearer in the head, more patient, and, most important, more compassionate in dealing with my fellow Earthlings.
Mickey the Great
But several years ago the great Mickey Singer came across my radar. I’ve learned a ton from his teachings, as anybody who’s read my articles knows.
One of those teachings is meditation. Mickey’s thoughts are simple: We don’t need to meditate several hours a day, as he did in the 1970s in his early travels on the spiritual path.
He says all we need to do is fifteen minutes in the morning…and fifteen minutes in the afternoon. Yes, twice a day.
