Shhh…I’m Meditating 22

Cor­rect me if I’m wrong here, but there’s no law against med­i­tat­ing in pub­lic places, right?

Why, then, do author­i­ties seem deter­mined to stop my new friend Max Simon and his friends from doing their thing?

You may have heard of Max. He’s the 26 year old founder of the self­cen­tered Tour (getselfcentered.com), a new school med­i­ta­tion move­ment that’s on a mis­sion to inspire a mil­lion peo­ple to learn med­i­ta­tion by 2010.

The med­i­ta­tion ses­sion you can see in the video is called a Pub­lic Dis­play of Med­i­ta­tion (PDM). Max has been hold­ing them across the coun­try in all sorts of unbe­liev­able venues, from Hol­ly­wood Boule­vard to shop­ping malls, and the buzz has caught on like wildfire.

I recently met Max at my 81st birth­day party, and I think he’s an astound­ing young man.

This is exactly what we need to get the younger gen­er­a­tion inter­ested in med­i­ta­tion. Max is suc­cess­fully brand­ing his form of med­i­ta­tion into a refresh­ing, mod­ern pack­age that is fast catch­ing on among young peo­ple through­out the world.

The son of best sell­ing author David Simon M.D., he’s been med­i­tat­ing since the age of 4. And by the time he was 22, he was the youngest med­i­ta­tion and yoga teacher at the Chopra Center.

After barely a year of oper­a­tions, he’s already gained the praises of Mr. Deepak Chopra him­self, Apl of the Black Eyed Peas and Ms. Deb­bie Ford.

I’m sure it’s only a mat­ter of time before he reaches his one mil­lion mark!

You can visit his web­site here: www.getselfcentered.com

So, if you had the chance to med­i­tate any­where in the world, where would it be? Please leave your com­ments in the box below.

Burt, I have a video request. Could you put together a short piece geared toward wid­ows that have lost spouses after 35+ years mar­ried. Thanks!!

Wow! your web­site have the great infor­ma­tion about med­i­tatin
.I’m sure I will be back again.

Rhys Dejesus says

hey is every­ones voice off in the morn­ings, cause when i wake up my air and singign is far off and not as good

chime says

I like med­i­tat­ing when sit­ting at the edge of canyons. I med­i­tated at the Grand Canyon, at the edge of it for a few days once.

Maria Perez says

Med­i­taion is a way to to go deep to a silent state of

being regard­less of the noisy world in and out.

I believe it can be prac­ticed on any­time and anywhere.

I also think it would be right to teach it since you are

a child.

Dude Rono says

Med­i­tat­ing I love to do’
Con­tem­plate some may call it’
Dwelling on’

I love to see and feel the sun on my shoul­ders’
The warmth of the uni­verse’
Heal­ing and purification’

I remem­ber back in 74′
Line em up
Line them all up for shure
I’ve seen them all

Make today the day
lay the life out you want
Smile for the day
Over­come the blow­ing of the world

margarita says

One can med­i­tate any­where once the habit is devel­oped. What do you think of a poem called “The pres­ence of God”…by an Irish poet?

I see his blood upon the rose and in the stars the glory of his eyes.
His body gleams amid eter­nal snows
His tears fall from the skies
I see his face in every flower the thun­der and the singing of the birds are but his voice
and car­ven by his power, rocks are his writ­ten words.…..

Now I have my words to this,

I see His face in every face and in every eye the glory of His eyes,
His body gleams in every body,
His tears fall from every eye.…..

Yes med­i­ta­tion helps us to be home with our­selves and see the glory even in the bro­ken and the crushed. Who admires a bro­ken and bruised body, but when that body is bro­ken and bruised for love of us all what a mar­vel that a human per­son can love so much.

Bless us all

Yogasiss says

Med­i­ta­tion to me is not about going or get­ting any­where, it is sim­ply allow­ing your­self to reside peace­fully in the present moment, regard­less of exter­nal cir­cum­stances or inter­nal turmoil.

Kisa Chloe says

med­i­ta­tion is best done by the sea, or by a beu­ti­fully flow­ing river in the wilder­ness…
or sit­ting propped up against a beau­ti­ful ancient tree…
more and more med­i­tat­ing with other beings as points in the star mer ka bah or mak­ing up the star — ship itself are sim­ply put — WONDERFUL!!

Jim McPherson says

Greet­ings Burt,
My favorite place that I ever med­i­tated was along the river at a place called Val­ley Green in the Rox­bor­ough sec­tion of Philadel­phia. Just some­thing about the flow­ing river and the peace­ful­ness of the sur­round­ing wooded area made me feel so cen­tered. Now, often when I med­i­tate — even though I am hun­dreds of miles away from Val­ley Green) — I still return there in my meditations.

Vishen says

Max rocks! I love see­ing some­one so young get­ting the mes­sage of med­i­ta­tion out to other young people.

Gwen says

I would like to be able to med­i­tate anywhere,and any­time I felt the need…

Greg says

For every choice we make we cre­ate new space, for every choice we don’t we’ll never know.

Silvernight says

Sweet! Would like to join them. Although truth to be told, I never got the hang of meditation.

Maksym says

After watch­ing the video, I felt that pub­lic demon­stra­tion of med­i­ta­tion becomes more like reli­gious sect. Somebody’s belief should not always become another’s act; every­one should have own yet unique set of beliefs.

yogidodie says

in a holy sanc­tury, with an advanced yogi there to guide me

Carli Bauzá says

I would med­i­tate in front of the White House. The calm­ing wave in the vicin­ity would be some­thing for the media to talk about. And top politi­cians should get a first-hand taste of peace for once, no mat­ter how uneasy it makes them.

Jerry says

I think a bet­ter ques­tion would be…where wouldmn’t I med­i­tate? I recently became unem­ployed and while I was at the unem­ploy­ment office I was hav­ing some dif­fi­culty with a form that would not let me com­plete. the direc­tor of the office allowed me to come into her office and she call the the main office and while I was wait­ing, sit­ting in her chair, for a response, I did a short cou­ple minute med­i­ta­tion to com myself and thank this per­son for help­ing me and being so gen­er­ous with her time and per­sonal space.
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. can we say thank you too much?? How much time is required for it to be called a med­i­ta­tion ses­sion???
If I could med­i­tate any­where in the world where that place be???? Inside me. Then if I want i can be any­where.
Doesn’t med­i­ta­tion only hap­pen in one place.. inside we??
or am i not under­stand­ing the term med­i­ta­tion correctly??

Steve says

Good going! More power to you!

Cheryl I. says

Hi Burt:
I am sure you enjoyed your birth­day celebration!

I enjoyed the movie. I med­i­tate min­i­mal three times a day. Surely, every morn­ing and every evening. It helps me to focus and to stay focus. The world is hec­tic, my world doesn’t have to be. Max is doing a won­der­ful thing. Let’s all pitch in and assist in our own circles.

krishnajee says

Yes med­i­ta­tion is the only way for attain­ing peace of mind and dis­ci­pline in life if not attain­ing GOD vision at a later date

AtomicSheri says

In a for­est, under a canopy of tree. On a per­fectly warm day, not too hot or cold, with a beau­ti­ful breeze blow­ing. I can hear the rus­tle of the leaves over­head, per­fectly safe, per­fectly con­tent. Yum!
