Anything Can Be a Meditation
This is the secret: de-automatize. If we can de-automatize our activities, then the whole life becomes a meditation. Then any small thing, taking a shower, eating your food, talking to your friend, becomes meditation.
Meditation is a quality; it can be brought to anything. It is not a specific act. People think that way, they think meditation is a specific act—when you sit facing to the east, you repeat certain mantras, you burn some incense, you do this and that at a particular time in a particular way with a particular gesture. Meditation has nothing to do with all those things.
They are all ways to automatize it and meditation is against automatization.
So if you can keep alert, any activity is meditation; any movement will help you immensely.
