Basics of 9 sec Practice

1. Maxine's excerpt from "Simplity", April 14, Monday

Pema Pera: While 9 seconds is very short, seemingly laughably short compared to usual contemplation techniques, it does have the advantage of already being integrated with daily life
... the very fact that you come back to it every fifteen minutes does not give you a chance to drift away and forget about it altogether
... and when you keep doing it, you will find that the practice colors the remaining 891 seconds of the quarter of an hour as well
