A meditation that came to me naturally

The latest meditation to come upon me - focusing on the rising and falling of my abdomen - was validated by a Burmese meditation master. I read about him in the Shambala Sun May edition.

This is the basis of the Insight Meditation he teaches.

I have found it very grounding, and also a technique that is easy to practise throughout the day.

And it is a great unwinder too. If I find that my abdomen is too tight, and my breath is restricted, then to sit and relax it, really reduces stress and increases mindfulness...
