How To Meditate In a Moment (video)

Need a moment? This is like those Twix ads except it’s zero calories and you won’t get chocolate all over your face. mmm…chocolate.

If you’re looking for extra patience in line at the grocery store, communicating with your darling children or have ever seriously considered tossing your computer out the window if the rainbow wheel of death doesn’t stop spinning, then perhaps you might benefit from this short how-to video. Besides, it’s adorable! Thanks to creator and author Martin Boroson (he’s got a book: One-Moment Meditation: Stillness for People on the Go and a website onemomentmeditation.com).

Martin suggests that if we can learn to meditate in a moment, a fraction of time, then we can learn to meditate when and wherever we need it.

Start with this basic minute, or “moment with handles on it” and see where it takes you. Then maybe a little chocolate. Won’t hurt anyone.

  1. this is pretty darn awesome… i want to learn animation, pronto!

  2. This animation is great! On-the-spot meditation has been rescuing me from some recent stress, so I’ve been using this a lot lately! It’s not always easy, but then sometimes I just drop right into the sweet spot without too much effort – gotta love those moments!

  6. A very helpful video. I try to meditate on a regular basis, but have not yet tried to reduce the time to under a minute. I would love to get in a meditative state in only a moment, so this I will start working on from now on. Thanks!

  7. worth a view, and a try ;-)

  8. This is a wonderful video. It guides us to fill in our those empty moments in everyday life with meditation posturing. I have said it myself to do it exactly when you plan a picnic, make it a “Yoga Meditation” camping exercise. This can be used to teach such useful techniques to de-stress ourselves.

    What an otherwise entertainment on TV, Cinema, eating, drinking and be merry cannot give, this meditation will give a lasting pleasure in our life. Doesn’t cost, doesn’t need a company, you do it yourself exercise. Wonderful. God bless

  13. Hi! I love the animations but I wish it was subtitled :/ I’m deaf and even with the new transcribe audio technology, it still messes up the subtitles (try it yourself to see what I mean). Thanks for reading my comment and I hope it’ll eventually be subtitled for many deaf viewers out there who would appreciate this very much! :)
