Think of all the moments you "lose": stuck in traffic, standing in line, waiting for a download. And think of all the moments you "waste": working when you're not focused, or fiddling with your phone. What if each of these moments offered you an extraordinary opportunity? In One-Moment Meditation, Martin Boroson distils the philosophy of time into a simple form of meditation that you can do anywhere, anytime. It begins with an exercise that takes just one minute per day. With practice, this takes less and less time, until it takes no time at all. Then each and every moment gives you a chance to reduce stress, refresh your mind, and open yourself to new possibilities. Playful, profound, and above all, practical, One-Moment Meditation teaches you that inner peace is not a distant goal reserved for saints and sages, and it doesn't take a lot of time: it only takes a moment.

Review
"Boroson takes the mystery out of meditation." -- The Irish Independent
"It's hard to overestimate how useful this technique could be." -- Psychologies magazine
"This gem of a book is a marvelous launching pad for anyone who wants to rest in the now, the only time there is." -- Larry Dossey, M.D., author of Reinventing Medicine
"Martin Boroson's fantastic book ... is all about learning to condense the practice of meditation into these fleeting moments. And about how, from a certain perspective, a sequence of fleeting moments are all we ever really have anyway." -- Oliver Burkeman, The Guardian
"Packed with wisdom from cover to cover. . Martin takes you on a journey that is all but guaranteeing that you will be able to surrender completely to your moments of meditation and apply them to everyday situations. ... This is something that I think just about any human being could take on, and it would definitely empower and lift the quality of one's experience on earth. A beautiful book." -- Regina Merideth, The Conscious Media Network
"One-Moment Meditation is to the seeker what the Swiss Army knife is to the hiker: an essential tool for survival. Whether it's enlightenment or basic sanity we're after, attention to this very moment is key. Boroson eminently captures the terrain, and the places we can lose our footing, all the while providing a firm handhold." -- Barbara Joshin O'Hara, Sensei, The Village Zendo, New York
"Boroson ... distills various aspects of mediation into several playful, practical techniques for use in situations from surprises to emergencies. Along the way, he talks about ... effective time management, proper breathing, and a host of other useful topics. Easy to read and easy to use, this is one for the bedside table." - Organic Spa magazine
"Don't underestimate the potential of this unorthodox method for finding
peace. ... One-Moment Meditation's short 160 pages are filled with wisdom and the kinds of insight that beg to be cut out and taped to the bathroom mirror. The message is delivered in a manner that is simple and entertaining; a therapeutic read, in itself calming and relaxing, with a clear introduction to what the practice of meditation is about. The
techniques are simple, easy to incorporate, and serve to complement any other form of meditation."
- Change magazine
"Having read several books about meditation, this one outdoes the others by far in its simplicity and results. ... Superbly written and well worth reading."

The "one-moment" in the title might hint at shallowness for the sake of a quick fix but it isn't so.
In addition to techniques of stillness, there were some profound insights for me here, particularly about death enriching life. Take a look to see what I mean.

Martin Boroson takes the mystery out of meditation in this gem of a book. As a psychotherapist, I've taught children, adolescents and adults how to use Mr. Boroson's clear, simple techniques to decrease their anxiety and quickly regain their emotional balance. The book is written with humor and insight. I leave it on my desk as a reminder to just "take a moment".

I am thrilled to see that this book is finally available in the U.S. One Moment Meditation manages to gracefully be wise, practical and inspiring--all at the same time. If your life feels hectic and too busy for a regular meditation practice, you have try Boroson's method. Since first reading the book several years ago, I have felt as though there were an angel on my shoulder, helping me to notice the moments in my life, and giving me the tools to be more present. I have ordered 3 copies, because whenever I lend the book to friends, they end up keeping it!
And, if you haven't seen it yet, Boroson's first book, Becoming Me (2000) is one of those children's books that brings appreciative tears to the eyes of the parents as they read it to their little ones.

Just a moment in time
Many times we think we need to spend lots of time in meditation, but just a clear moment is all that is really needed. This was good for explaining all about it.
