Three-Minute Meditation<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Find a peaceful place<\/span> where you won\u2019t be interrupted<\/li>\n
  2. Gently rest your palm over your heart.\u00a0 Concentrate on a person, place, song, or memory you cherish.\u00a0 The idea is to feel love<\/span> and to concentrate it as energy in your mid-chest<\/li>\n
  3. Visualize any thoughts as clouds<\/span> drifting in the sky.\u00a0 Let them float by and out of\u00a0 your awareness.<\/li>\n
  4. Observe the sensations<\/span> in your heart area; heat, coolness, bliss, compassion, release of pressure, vibration.\u00a0 Over time and with practice, you\u2019ll feel the positive energy<\/span> in your chest that will flow into your body.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
