I'm Deepak Shopra and this is daily breath. In total meditation, we take advantage of all the mind's natural processes

to address all imbalances together, not just one at a time. Today let's examine these

natural processes.

So here we will talk about a number of natural processes. First, number one,

mindfulness. The way you recover from distraction, your cell phone rings while driving your mindful response is not to answer but

stay focused on driving.

2. Self-Inquery. This is the way your mind recovers from habits. You complain about work all the time.

Self-Inquiry. Ask yourself why you remain in a job that makes you unhappy and whether you deserve better.

3. Self-Reflection. The way your mind recovers from thoughtlessness.

You consider yourself a caring but vigilant parent.

Recently your teenage daughter has become secretive.

You reflect on whether you have been hovering or whether she is acting like a

normal teenager struggling to find the right boundaries. Contemplation.

This is the way your mind recovers from confusion. You have a new boss who has made

your job much worse, difficult in terms of pressure, deadlines and his behavior.

Do you stay there, try to fix or walk away?

You contemplate and weigh the options.

This is the way your mind recovers from pointlessness.

and your friend seems boring. Instead of leaving things

at that, you concentrate on what you can do to rekindle your relationship.
