sitting still
Meditating takes practice. I like to sit in silence for at least 15 minutes everyday. I would like to actually sit for longer amounts of time, but this is where I am right now.
It has been a scattered summer (in very good ways) though sadly, the first thing to be affected has been my sitting meditation, and the second, is the way i see and react to things. It is strange that the one thing that gets me clear, grounded and creates more mental space for me would go on the back burner, or at least to the side for a bit. I would, or could never abandon it completely, because I feel so different when I meditate. I notice how my mind, even after a few days of not meditating just makes my head swirl with thoughts that I can’t touch, because they are moving so fast.
This morning was like that. I spent my whole time sitting having to return to the breath and refocus, I never really made it to an actual meditative state, so after I practice yoga this morning (somewhat of a vigorous moving meditation), I will sit again, connect to the source, and find ground. I hope…
