Minute Meditation

Have just a minute or two? Try the following quick meditation exercise to help relieve stress.

Place your hand just beneath your navel so you can feel the gentle rise and fall of your belly as you breathe. Breathe in. Pause for a count of three. Breathe out. Pause for a count of three. Continue to breathe deeply for one minute, pausing for a count of three after each inhalation and exhalation.

Did You Know?

Estimates vary, but each person uses about 80 - 100 gallons of water per day. The largest use of household water is to flush the toilet, and after that to take showers and baths.

Welcome to Breathing With Water Into Peace!

During our normal day, it is difficult to take time out to meditate, let alone think about creating peace. And though it can add years to your life, increase energy and creativity, and regulate sleep and overall health, we continue to give into the pains of stress and fear.

One thing we do very unconsciously throughout our day is experience water ~ we have "water moments." Whether it is showering, washing, drinking or cooking, we use, on average, 80 - 100 gallons of water each day per person.

Here we can turn those unconscious moments into moments of conscious awareness. Make your water moments conscious ones. During any water moment:

*STOP
*TAKE 3 DEEP BREATHS – Inhale, hold to the count of four, then exhale while saying “water”.
*EXPRESS appreciation and gratitude for the water you are using or experiencing.


This exercise can help to relieve stress; relieve physical and emotional pain; alleviate fear and worry; create conscious awareness of Mother Earth; raise loving vibrations ~ thus bringing a sense of inner and outer peace.

Join the movement towards creating a collective consciousness ~ lower your stress while consciously honoring one of our most precious resources: Sister Water.

In peace and blessings,
Carolyn, The Peace Animator

Hi Markalix, Welcome to the community! Check out Dr. Andrew Weil's book and audio on Breathing. It is great. He speaks of the medical and well as the spiritual benefits to breathing; and how it has impacted his life and the life of his patients. C…

Hey Sally Bee, Why are you "needing" to exhale for 10 counts? If you must exhale for 10 counts, then do so. It does take practice to get the exhalations down to 8. Do what works for you.

I keep needing to exhale for much longer than 8. Even if I slow down the inhale and hold portion I can't get my exhale in for less than the count of 10--any ideas about this?
