LOL what's funny is I have an alert on my computer, and lately I get annoyed that the alert disrupts something I'm doing! It goes to show how much I really need the meditation, to regain some balance in my life.

I'll do my best to meditate tonight smile.

I have been bad about this. When the timer goes off it interrupts me and I ignore it. Clearly I need to work on this.

I wanted to do ten full minutes. I just can't take that long of a break right in the middle of my day.

I'm now going to aim for ONE minute smile. That won't slow down my coding too much if I'm deep into coding. Hopefully that can get me back on track.

(no posts between 12/14 and 12/27) I'm not even doing one minute. This is fairly sad. I know how important meditation is. I will do one minute right now. I could definitely use it!

(no posts between 12/27/12 and 4/19/13) It is amazing how even the simplest things slip away when one doesn't pay attention to them. I do try to meditate every night when I lay in bed, and I suppose that does count. But I would like something a little more deliberate, vs using the time I can't fall asleep for something useful. I will strive to get back into this practice, starting tonight! One day at a time!

That was lovely! During much of it I could feel the mess around me "pressing in" on me. It just seemed so powerful. I think that's an important sign for me that I have to clean up this office. I don't think I realize how much the mess affects me until I sit down and just sit in it like that.

We are about fifteen minutes away from our evening meditation! Get something to drink, settle down, and join me in a peaceful meditation! It's OK if you have random thoughts during this. That's what meditation is all about. It's about dealing with those thoughts. Think of it like weightlifting. It wouldn't really be weightlifting without weights giving resistance to you. Those thoughts are the resistance and you're practicing dealing with them.

That was quite lovely! And I opened my eyes exactly after ten minutes, without a timer or anything. My boyfriend was watching the news so I played a Windham Hill song set to overlay it, and that was quite peaceful.

Meditation time is coming up in just over ten minutes! Get your environment set, get a glass of water or wine, and prepare for peace!
