Karma Meditation

Continuing our series of meditations we get to karma meditation. This is being in the moment when doing anything. It can be practiced all the time.

Karma means action and karma yoga is one of the eight different yogas. Yoga means yoke or union with the ultimate reality (the Godhead).

In karma meditation or karma yoga you take whatever work you have to do and just do it and nothing else. You remain in the present moment concentrating on the action you are taking. It is an excellent meditation to do when you are doing your chores.

For example you have to wash the dishes or take out the garbage. Look at this action as an opportunity for spirituality and self improvement. When washing the dishes notice every movement your hands make. Feel the water running on you hands. What temperature is it? Does the bubbles from the dish washing liquid make the water softer on your hands.

See each spot of dirt as it washes off. Just stay in the present moment and enjoy what you are doing (your actions – karma). Like all other meditations sooner or later you’ll notice that you are no longer concentrating in the task at hand. You are thinking about this or that. Your mind is in the past or the future. You are glancing impatiently here or there.

As in all other meditations when you notice that simply return you concentration back to whatever you are doing….

Doing this mediation whenever you have to do something (perhaps you are stuck in a traffic jam) help make your life much easier and more enjoyable.
