Meditation Essentials: Float In the Night Sky

(Yes, I am in my office on a Saturday.)

On a clear night, perhaps when you are on a vacation far away from street lighting, go outside and look up at the sky (if possible, lie on your back).

As you become accustomed to the darkness, see how more and more of the stars appear to you and how the sky just seems to go on forever. Notice how each star glows with a different brightness. Can you see the different colors of the stars-blue, yellow, red?

Spend five minutes of time like this, meditating on the infiniteness of space.
