Fast Food Meditation

Paul Laurence Dunbar Middle School | Lynchburg, VA | 2018

I love Facebook! Please let me explain.

As someone who has practiced meditation for decades, I am constantly seeking new ways to improve the efficiency of my training. And thanks to Facebook I have discovered fast food meditation!

In this wonderful season of giving it would be an honor to share this technique with you.

Step 1: Log in to your Facebook. Most of you can skip this step because you are probably already logged on. I realize nobody logs out of Facebook but I have to add this step just in case.

Step 2: Go to your news feed. To eliminate any confusion, your news feed is also your home page. Because Facebook is home.

Step 3: Before reading the first post on your newsfeed, please close your eyes and think of something that makes you happy. Isn't it wonderful, this feeling inside.

Step 4: Open your eyes.

Step 5: Read the first post on your news feed. If you have read the first post and you are still happy, read the next post. Continue this process until your happiness fades. When you are no longer happy close your eyes again.

Step 6: Think of something that makes you happy.

There you have it. Fast food meditation. You can practice this technique whenever you like, wherever you like. It is always available.

Please join me next week when I discuss why 6 is an auspicious number.

Happy holidays!
