A talk by Wes Nisker on time, with a little time travel along the way. It’s about living in the moment and the importance of acknowledging impermanence.
A note from Sean
In a mindfulness of death practice, I start with small things. My last Cheerio, my last sip of coffee, my last bite of chocolate cake. I want to savor those. Then I bring that to a breath: if this one could be my last, it isn’t like every other breath I’ve had.
Try this today. Choose one ordinary pleasure today, the first sip of coffee or tea. Slow down. Feel the warmth in your hands, the taste, the swallow. Let it be the only thing happening for a few breaths, and notice how different it feels.
Keep going: impermanence meditation script and Easing Anxiety by Remembering Impermanence.
This talk suits anyone who wants more life in ordinary days. If thoughts of loss, illness or death weigh on you right now, go gently. Stop when you need to.
