Book Reviews of Ten Zen Seconds
Book Review: Calming Balance for Life's Stressful Moments
Summary: 4 Stars
In the frantic pace of modern life somedays it feels like we barely have time to breathe let alone meditate and that's what makes Eric Maisel's book so unique: he's created quick, yet meaningful meditations, that can be done in ten seconds. You wouldn't think that ten seconds would be enough to bring about real change, but when used wisely, ten seconds is enough to put you back on track.
Maisel's book contains a variety of phrases to be used in various situations and he includes advice on how to create your own. One that I've used quite effectively is "I Am Compassionate." As I breathe in I say "I AM" and as I breath out I say "Compassionate." Repeated a few times these simple words bring me back to center and help me respond more compassionately no matter what situation I'm in.
Granted you'll want to start practicing your ten zen seconds before you get into a stressful situation, but the good thing about these meditations is they can be practiced anywhere: in the doctor's waiting room, stuck in traffic, in the bathroom, or anywhere else where you have a few minutes.
My recommendation is to practice them a few times in a quiet place and then start employing them in the real world so that you will use them when you really need them and not think that they're only to be done behind closed doors.
I keep Ten Zen Seconds by my bed and I flip through it every night and try a new meditation. I also take a few minutes during the day and apply an applicable meditation. This keeps me in practice.
