Summary: Meditation for atheists, one that does not require a belief in God, the supernatural, an afterlife, or the paranormal. Here is a slightly modified version of vipassana or insight meditation. Taking some insights from Zen, I teach people to do a simple two word mental monologue. Breathing in they say in their mind, “open.” Breathing out they say in their mind, “relax.” While they focus their attention on the nose area, or on the rising and falling of the stomach.
