According to a zen meditation monk that I watched in a youtube video, you can meditate any time, anywhere, just by stopping and focusing on manually breathing.

According to a zen meditation monk that I watched in a youtube video, you can meditate any time, anywhere, just by stopping and focusing on manually breathing.
Make sure that you are aware of every single breath in, and every single breath out. If your mind wanders and thinks about other things, that's ok, don't stress about it. Just make sure that you are focusing on your breathing while your mind is wondering.
If this is true, then it should be easy to meditate in the mornings whenever you do mundane time-consuming things like taking a shower or driving to work, for example.
- quietbritishjim 7y agoThanks but actually I was pondering whether meditating on the morning would allow me to go on to do exercise, not whether I could manage the meditation bit. I think you might have taken that video a little too literally. I'm not a meditation expert by any means, and I acknowledge that you shouldn't stress about other thoughts entering your mind, but you should then allow those thoughts to pass rather than lingering on them. Imagine the thought is "a lorry has just pulled out in front of me"! Driving and meditation are surely incompatible.
