Surprise Meditation
Walking meditation and breathing exercises are wonderful tools to be aware of but lately I've been trying something new.
I call it surprise meditation. You can do it whether you are on a bus, on a work break, or waiting for service while dining. I start by becoming focused on a single point of interest; realize and be mindful of a beverage straw for example. I then take that realization and mindfulness and apply it to myself and other objects.
I've found I enjoy day to day life more when I surprise meditate.
However, surprise meditation is sort of like the "quickie" of meditation. It can be great and plenty of fun but shouldn't replace the proper "making love" version.
