Meditation can be tricky. Many people are turned off by it because it feels like a waste of time. Others are frustrated because they don't think they are "doing it right." My first round with mindfulness and meditation was rigourous. It involved 45-minute body scans, sitting meditations, and yoga. With all that needs to be done in a day, it may be difficult to fit in all of the components of a comprehensive program. However, for a less time consuming, day to day application of meditation, I highly recommend a 20 minute simple breath awareness meditation. With this increase in awareness, it may be possible to shift more easily among the functions of perception and judgment.
