Lent and Well-being: One-minute meditation

20 February 2013 in /by

Yesterday’s mention of the one-minute vacation led me to this video of the one-minute meditation.  Focusing on our breath not only slows us down, relaxes tensions, and improves circulation, but it also reminds us of God’s immanent presence.

And take that up.
