    ugogrl ahhh my eyes!

    another meditation class 5 hours ago

    & I really got into my groove today
    feeling much more empowered this class to
    talk my way through the guided meditation



    ugogrl ahhh my eyes!

    getting better with each class 1 week ago

    I got positive feedback today
    and everybody said they felt relaxed

    I added aromatherapy this time
    & used orange essentials for invigoration

    continuing to teach breathing techniques
    and working on “body scan”



    ugogrl ahhh my eyes!

    Gave a mediation class today 4 weeks ago

    Actually make that the first meditation class I’ve ever given
    I would say it was a combination of guided meditation and relaxation
    I thought it would be a piece of cake but found it harder because I didn’t do any prior planning

    It went well enough but I really need to get a good technique down
    and make sure not to have so many interruptions…too many people trying to get in the locked door

    Planning on doing this for the registrants/patients weekly so
    that will help me to accomplish this goal

    will sit this week 1 month ago

    for some needed meditation
    even if it’s just in a chair
    with a scented candle & lights dimmed

    even while I may hear sirens wailing
    or as motorcycles race by & set off car alarms
    (the bikers do that a lot here)

    hear the cat’s meow (namely Tom who has too much to say;
    I’ve tried giving him the MEMO: “I don’t speak cat!”
    clearly he doesn’t care)

    let the anger, fear & sadness
    bubble to surface
    let the joy, gratitude & love
    runneth over

    center myself
    imagine myself at the core of the earth
    rising up into atmosphere
    into stratosphere

    let myself float into the
    gaping mouth of outer space

    and try not to ask, “Is this meditation?”
    and try not to ask, “Am I doing this right?”

    it’s just sitting & breathing & watching my mind
    How badly can I mess that up?

    Week One./Day One 1 month ago

    I’ve always have a hard time sitting for meditation:
    I get antsy
    my mind wanders
    my body fidgets
    it usually rocks side to side

    some people attribute this rocking to energy rising
    I don’t like the sensation
    I want to sit still

    but instead:
    My legs get cramped
    My back aches

    I get distracted:
    I’ve tried scented candles
    dark rooms
    unplugging the phone
    shutting the world out

    In my head the world still looms

    I’ve never found:
    a groove
    a flow
    a daily practice

    instead my best experiences
    come from moving meditation:
    tai chi
    qi gong
    even jogging

    here my mind relaxes
    it goes all “zen”

    but even if I have to “sit”
    I do much better in a chair
    in front of the puter
    and get all zoned out with
    a meditation cd in the background
    while I type

    Today I just “Oh-med” in the car
    stuck in traffic
    looking across the expanse of bridge
    that I didn’t have to cross

    looking at the water rolling in the bay
    waiting for the light to turn green

    Today I meditated in my car
    and zen-ed out through the 6pm
    rush hour



    Is it true i don't have the time? 2 years ago

    It absurd i always tell myself i don’t have time to just sit down and meditate. I could probably be doing this in the time that i am writing this entry. It is the most relaxing and fulfilling thing i can do with my time. I have a daughter and watch 2 other children during the day having that time could really help me build my patience.

    man i haven’t even tried to get a regular meditation schedule going! i put this up days ago and havent done it yet. maybe i should start smaller and try weekly instead of daily.
    i have gone to a meditation retreat where all you do is eat sleep and meditate in total silence, but it is structured meditation time and while the experience is very valuable it does not translate easily into everday life.
    Gambate! (work hard!)

    Untitled 4 years ago

    There was a time when I meditated nearly daily. I felt much more at peace then, and much healthier. I’d like to get those feelings back. I’ll start with 5 minutes a day and see if I can just sustain that for a few days.
