Meditation on Death

Filed under: Meditation Techniques — roshihogan @ 2:56 pm



Sit in your usual meditation position, straight back but relaxed and comfortable-

Concentrate on each single breath you take-

Contemplate on how each breath has the potential to be your last-

Think about death. Life is the mother of death. You are born, you will die-

There is no escaping death, it is a certainty. You are here one day, gone the next-

Think of all the family members, friends, acquaintances, and strangers who have died-

People die at all ages, expected or unexpectedly. One never knows when death shall arrive-

Since death is natural, contemplate on being at peace with it-

Since death may come at any time, appreciate the life you have now-
