the one minute mystic
How to use the meditations

1. Find a quiet place where you will not be disturbed.

2. Read through the whole meditation a few times, then put it down.

3. Sit in a position both comfortable and alert.

4. Allow the meditation 10 minutes or so in your imagination. Do not give up before this time; stay with it.

5. Allow another 10 minutes for recording what happened. Allow events to develop as you record.

THE JOURNEY

The journey we travel has many moods.

It has no particular plan. Just a direction, which can sometimes be discerned.

Nothing is assured. But in some sense, everything is promised.

We are never more than half-knowing. But we can still be whole-hearted.

We are more concerned with creating space within, than with making huge strides without.



Imagine

You are on a journey.

Where are you?

What does it feel like?

Are you travelling with anyone or alone?

Do you look back much?

How do you choose which path to take next?

What’s up ahead?
