You could already be meditating several times a day but not realizing it because you think meditation is sitting in an uncomfortable position with your legs crossed and your fingers in a thumb to forefinger clench. Think again.
According to Herbert Benson, MD, author of The Relaxation Response, any repetitive action can be a source of meditation. You can be painting, scrapping, knitting, or in a more active way, you can be walking, swimming, or walking the dog. For a completely mundane activity, you can even be blow-drying your hair!
We all have experienced “spacing out” while driving routes we take on a regular basis. We’re driving – paying attention on one level – but on another level our mind is taking a break. This form of “meditation” is not recommended, of course; merely think of it as a way you naturally take a needed break from your brain’s constant chatter.
The kind of meditation that is easy involves taking things you enjoy, and then making a slight shift in your intention to consciously focus on that thing. Source
