1. Use the tiniest of breaks to focus and breathe: When you are alone,
waiting for someone in a conference room, or in the elevator, try to
find a focal point to rest your open eyes. You may be tempted to look
at those around you, or talk, but if possible, stay silent and focus.
Inhale and exhale in controlled and deep breaths.Even if you get
to be alone for say 30 seconds, you will emerge refreshed especially
with regular practice. The benefits are stable blood pressure and
increased oxygen flow to the brain thereby increasing alertness. Your
stomach should rise as you inhale; and you need to draw your navel in
as you exhale. 2. Get connected: Close your eyes for a few
minutes, and shut your mind to all the sounds in your office. You will
at once connect with your mind. 3. Do what you love: As
meditation is mainly a way of relaxation, you can best relax by
thinking of something and someone that soothes your mind. By this way
of meditation you form mental images of places or situations you find
relaxing. You can also close your eyes and silently repeat a word,
thought or phrase that relaxes you. 4. Nostrils that unwind: This
is the age-old tried and tested meditation technique works wonders as
breathing is a natural function and is the engine of life. Focus all
your attention on how you breathe. Concentrate on feeling your breaths
as you inhale and exhale through your nostrils. Breathe deeply and
slowly. This would completely unwind you. 5. Engage in prayer: Whenever you find even 10 minutes of time in
between your work, all you do is simply pray! Prayer has the power to
move mountains, yes this clichéd, but very effective. 6. Read:
Reading quotes that inspire you, sacred texts that motivate you,
silently or aloud, can bring peace to your mind and actually boost your
energy levels. You must reflect on the words you read. 7. Cup it
up: One of the most popular ways by which you can do a quick meditation
is to cup your hands on your eyes and breathe. Even watching your
breath while you are working can help. according to script Rakesh
