Meditation for Today
”

Throwing Things Out”

Whenever you feel that the mind is not tranquil – tense, worried,
chattering, anxious, constantly dreaming – do one thing…

The Method

Exhale deeply. Always start by exhaling. Exhale deeply; as much as you
can, throw the air out. Throwing out the air, the mood will be thrown
out too because breathing is everything.
Expel the breath as far as possible. Pull the belly in and retain for a few
seconds; don’t inhale. Let the air be out, and don’t inhale for a few
seconds. Then allow the body to inhale. Inhale deeply – as much as you
can. Again stop for a few seconds. The gap should be the same as when
breathing out – if you held it for three seconds, hold the breath in for

three seconds. Throw it out and hold for three seconds; take it in and
hold for three seconds. But the breath has to be thrown out completely.
Exhale totally and inhale totally, and make a rhythm. Hold, then breathe
in; hold, then breathe out. Hold, in; hold, out. Immediately you will feel
a change coming into your whole being. The mood has gone; a new
climate has entered you.
