Experiment Part One: Set up your phone to “twinkle” every hour.

Do one round minimum of any variation of Left Right Breath, splitting your internal awareness of sensations on the left and right sides. This is much easier than your mind probably thinks.

Bring the depth of your morning Left Right Breath Meditation into your day, every hour. You will be surprised and exponentially rewarded.

Experiment Part Two: Every hour include a beneficial thought on your phone. Have your mind keep repeating wholesome beneficial contemplative thoughts, such as gratitude, loving kindness, the ethical precepts of yoga and ideas like that, throughout your day.

After one day, nothing happens. After 2 days, nothing much happens. The mind is like a tape recorder and keeps repeating the thoughts you think. After a month, … the beginning of huge life transforming shifts start to happen. When we mindfully inhale through one sinus, with a higher vibration thoughts such as loving kindness or gratitude, it becomes especially charged with potency.

What if you did this every hour for years?

You are in the process of reprogramming the thoughts that go through your mind all day long and you get to do your own reprogramming. You mentally become a different person according to the thoughts you think.

Experiment Part Three: Instead of Doing a round of Left Right Breath every hour, just take a “Mindfulness Moment,” a la Thich Nhat Hanh, where you stop all doing and just BE for a minute. Doing versus Being. Compare a day of “Mindfulness Moments” versus a day of “Split Breath” at the top of every hour. What do you expect will be the result, before the experiment? After the experiment, what do you discover? Are you surprised?
