Growing In Meditation Day 2- “The Separation”
A self-reflective meditation journey for 9 days
Today I began my meditations earlier than usual.
I encountered the same morning sounds as yesterday: traffic, bunny, husband. They all had a different tune this time, but same song(if you get what I mean).
The only difference is I wanted to tune out EVERYTHING.
I focused on my breath and kept my eyes closed, zoning in on my Hara. This time, I wanted to pull myself back from the swimming images in my head and the constant feeling of anxiety that creeps up.
That anxiety creeps up because of my introversion. Gatherings and large crowds are just not my cup of tea. I do it out of love.
While meditating, it is okay to have thoughts. The goal is to know when to gently return from those thoughts and continue your meditation. For some reason today, I thought about the upcoming Thanksgiving gathering at my sister-in-law’s new home.
I was thinking of wearing my hair up.
I imagined writing this journal.
I was even thinking of my position WHILE meditating.
