Meditation for waiting for the results of an important test
While waiting for a result that no longer depends on anything you can do, the mind tends to run through every possible scenario as if that helped you prepare; anchoring attention to the present, even briefly, gives a real break from that loop.
Sample session
Breathe at a steady pace for a couple of minutes: inhale for about 5 seconds, exhale for another 5, unhurried. Now, instead of continuing to run through the different possible outcomes, name in your head 5 things you can see around you right now, 4 things you can touch, and 3 sounds you can hear. This result no longer depends on anything you do right now — running through the scenarios doesn’t change the outcome, it just makes the wait longer and harder. Allow yourself, even for a few minutes, to be in what’s actually real right now, not in what isn’t known yet.
Frequently asked questions
