Book Review - The One-Moment Meditation
Reviewed by Diana Theodores, PhD.
This is a book about how to achieve the remarkable benefits of meditation in as short a time as possible. As an executive coach working with time-premium clients it's a gift of a toolbox for improved performance and wellbeing. I use exercises and concepts from this book with my own clients in performance coaching sessions as well as in group programs in communication, presenting and leading teams. The relaxed receptivity that results in `being present' and being `in the moment' transforms anxiety into curiosity and fears of being in the spotlight into a state of genuine dialogue and participation with others. I've also had report backs from clients about lower blood pressure as a result of applying some of Boroson's pointers.
With a constantly supportive, down to earth and witty voice, he eases us into the benefits of meditation (such as calmness, self-awareness, clarity of thought, compassion, radiance and energy) in just the time it takes to inhale and exhale - a moment.
Through Boroson's wonderfully clear and rationalised teaching, we arrive at `the One-Breath Cycle,' a profound inner experience, more or less at will. But "life goes on out there" Boroson reminds us, so we are stretched that little bit more - to experiencing being in the moment with your eyes open and while on the move.
I now understand that being in the moment - that state of vital, alive, active stillness in which you are `breathing as one with the world' - is not only a spiritual endeavour but a highly efficient condition, poised for action. Being in the moment enables smarter decision making, creative and powerful breakthroughs and a quality of flow and flexibility when facing change and transition.
The beauty of this book is its simplicity and the premise that we have everything we need right here and right now to wake up.
"You won't need to quit your job, get a babysitter, or even find an empty cabin by the pond," says Boroson. "You won't need to buy any clothing. You won't need to join a group, get any special equipment, reorganise your office, download a programme, or buy an instructional DVD from my website. All you need is here, right where you are."
I've read this book a few times now and it delights and instructs me more with each reading. It is a cool, wise, and reassuring touch on our furrowed and effortful collective brow.

Summary of One-Moment Meditation: Stillness for People on the Go
Think of all the moments you "lose": stuck in traffic, standing in line, waiting for a download. And think of all the moments you "waste": working when you're not focused, or fiddling with your phone. What if each of these moments offered you an extraordinary opportunity? In One-Moment Meditation, Martin Boroson distils the philosophy of time into a simple form of meditation that you can do anywhere, anytime. It begins with an exercise that takes just one minute per day. With practice, this takes less and less time, until it takes no time at all. Then each and every moment gives you a chance to reduce stress, refresh your mind, and open yourself to new possibilities. Playful, profound, and above all, practical, One-Moment Meditation teaches you that inner peace is not a distant goal reserved for saints and sages, and it doesn't take a lot of time: it only takes a moment.Health, Mind & Body Books
