I just finished reading the book, One Moment Meditation: Stillness for People on the Go authored by Martin Boroson. (Full disclosure: I did receive a review copy of the book.) The author’s book is packed with many powerful ideas that could make you rethink the significance of a mere moment.
Boroson explains how a moment of meditation can bring us healing, inspiration, joy, opportunity or a fantastic new idea. Furthermore, each moment offers us a chance to refresh and recharge ourselves, many times, throughout the day.
How can one moment do this? Boroson says, “You can experience such peace in the moment because, at that moment, you are not carrying the past or chasing after the future.” Instead, you take the moment to refresh your awareness.
He differentiates between recreation which just gives us a rest from our stressful lives. And focuses on re – creation where every moment is brand new. I especially like the final words of Boroson’s book: “With this breath, I am reborn. And everything is fresh and new.”
After reading his book, I practiced the “Basic Minute” which is the foundation of the One-Moment Method. I tried this meditation before attempting a new drawing. I did feel calmer as I sketched which resulted in a more relaxed and better drawing. For more information, visit onemomentmeditation.
