Meditation Essentials: Absorb The Task

When faced with an unwelcome chore or task, such as weeding the garden, it is tempting to rush through the task as quickly as possible. In doing so, we miss the pleasure of fully experiencing the present moment.

Next time you begin an arduous task, practice "mindfulness meditation." Concentrate on your every sensation-how things feel to the touch, the scents you smell, the colors you see, and so on. Notice how your normally inattentive mind modulates to a calm, unified focus.
