URI’S 5 FAVOURITE INSTANT MEDITATIONS, OR, HOW TO FLY FROM WHERE YOU ARE TO WHERE YOU WANT TO BE

1. Look up at the ultimate Millenium Dome the night sky. Think how the light from uncountable millions of stars has flown across uncountable billions of light years directly into your own eyes.
2. Picture a river. Imagine your thoughts are like its waters. They flow to your head swirl for a moment and then are gone. Let them go.
3. Breathe in deeply. No one need know. You are simply breathing. Count the breath. 1. Let it go. Breathe again. Count 2. Let it go. Keep breathing. Keep counting. This is your secret meditation.
4. Go to a hospital. Stand outside and look up at the window. Whoever might be inside – a child, a parent, an old man or woman – say a prayer that they will be well soon. They need your prayers more urgently than you do because you are on the outside of the hospital.
5. Travel in time. Look into your mind and unlock a happy memory. Something you have not thought about in years. Surprise yourself, live this memory. Revive the colours, the smells, the textures; use every sense. You have just travelled back in time.
