Two Minute Toothbrush Meditation
My toothbrush is an excellent meditation tool. No, really.
I have an electric toothbrush that is timed for two minutes. When I started my meditation practice, I began to notice how often I quit brushing before the brush timer stopped. Two minutes. 120 seconds. Not much time, but it seemed like a long time of "doing nothing" when I had to hurry to get myself out of the house.
Now, I use it as part of my meditation practice. A practice of present moment presence. A chance to be quiet and pay full attention to what I am doing. A method of slowing me down.
It's only two minutes, but it sets the tone for the entire day.
