After I’d had an exchange on the subject of daily meditation with , one of my relatives on Facebook posted a link to the British Jesuits’ Pray-As-You-Go website, which supplies you with daily meditations for the MP3 player, lasting about a quarter of an hour each.

It’s a nice format. They start with bells to get you in the mood (there’s also an option of breathing and meditation exercises to get started properly), then a hymn (not always, even not usually, in English), then a scripture reading, then a reflection on the reading, then the reading again, then the Gloria to finish with. However, I think the content is so explicitly Christian that it probably wouldn’t be much use to someone whose personal preferences were not very close to Roman Catholicism.

The timing fits neatly into the second train journey of the three in my regular daily commute – the sixteen minutes or so from Leuven to Brussels North – so it’s been very easy to integrate into my daily routine. More so than the gym, anyway…)
