To integrate practice into everyday life, you can let go of the sharp divisions between the times when you’re sitting and the times when you’re not sitting. You should allow the spaciousness you discover in your sitting to overflow into your ordinary life experience. You can start by allowing the postpractice period to be a time when you remain completely with whatever you’re doing.If you sit for an hour, make sure that you have at least fifteen to thirty minutes for the postmeditation period. When you get up from your sitting session, stand up slowly and with awareness. Continue to find the presence of your awareness in whatever sensation arises—but avoid conceptualizing about the process.
You could get up and make a cup of coffee. You could do the washing up. But whatever you do, simply be with what you’re doing.
