You know when you’re having a bad day and nothing seems
to go right? You have that wobbly feeling inside that makes you scared, sad,
and mad all at the same time. Well, find a quiet place, sit down, and meditate.
Meditation won’t take away your problems, but it will
help you deal with them. You’ll learn to watch your feelings pop up and
disappear like soap bubbles.
Read through this book and pick one meditation for today.
Sit in a chair or cross-legged on a pillow on the floor.
Keep your back straight but not stiff, and put your hands
on your knees or in your lap.
Close your eyes or keep them slightly open and stare at a
spot on the floor.
Inhale and feel your breath fill up your belly.
Then breathe out slowly. Continue with slow, full breaths
during meditation.
