[Speaker 2]
So, I believe you will find that just with five-minute meditations, you can change your mind.

[Speaker 1]
I think if you try to do 24 subjects in two-hour meditation, nothing will change.

[Speaker 2]
Your mind won't change. So, try.

[Speaker 1]
Okay, ready?

[Speaker 2]
Ready?

[Speaker 1]
I'll help you. It makes a sound in the beginning, and then you can choose the sound, it's cool. Okay.

Relax your shoulders, sit up straight. Relax your hands, relax your eyes, pull in your stomach a little bit, smile just a little bit, wish out, and then slowly start to watch your breath. Then I'd like you to think of something you use every day.

[Speaker 2]
It could be your cell phone, your laptop, your shoes.

[Speaker 1]
Think of something you own. Choose one thing. Then think, who made this thing?

Of course it was made in a factory. Someone invented it. Somebody brought it to the store for you to buy.

You paid money, but where did the money come from? Where did the store come from? Where did the factory come from?

Where did the inventor come from? Go deeper to the cause of the cause, and the cause of the cause is your own actions. You were very, very generous in the past.

[Speaker 2]
You gave away everything, and that created the phone, and the laptop, and the shoes, and the city that you live in.

[Speaker 1]
So think about Joe. One more minute. Come back to your breath.

Watch your breath, and then slowly open your eyes.
