For the following meditation, you are going to meditate on an object. You may choose an object that’s meaningful to you, such as a religious statue or image. You could also use a flower or a candle flame. Try to use the same object each time you practice. You can do several short practices. of 5 to 10 minutes each, taking a break in-between.
