Mark Thornton Talk on How to Meditate in a New York Minute

Faced with a high-pressure job as a Wall Street trader, Mark Thornton found a release valve through regular meditation, which not only eased stress, but also helped him become more productive. Though he’s convinced meditation can be a mission critical component to any modern workplace, Thornton still admits that many find it hard to fit regular practice into a hectic work schedule. But what if you could access your center for 2 minutes here, or 5 minutes there, and a accumulate an hour a day of meditation, just by taking time while in line, doing laundry, or sitting in a long meeting? With his “New York Minute” meditation strategy, Thornton provides persuasive evidence that we can all reap the benefits of a week-long meditational retreat in a fraction of the time using an optimal work/flow pattern that provides a regular “micro-doses” of centeredness, wherever we are.
