meditate everyday

i have been doing this almost daily for 6 months now. sometimes i am more engaged than others…it has made such a difference in my life! highly recomended.

I don’t really have a problem calming down, I’m pretty laid-back, but my brain is constantly going. I think this is why I talk all the time, it’s because I’m always thinking about something else.

I’ve realized though, that this sort of perpetual multitasking takes a toll on my productivity. Trigonometry homework takes much longer when half of my brain is reviewing last night’s episode of Monk. I feel that meditation would help me focus on just the task at hand, and thus boost my productivity, which will be important if I am to do well in college.

I also have hopes that meditation will improve, or help me to improve, my life overall.

I have been wanting to meditate for more than two years now.This year I went through a bad patch,and finally decided that enough was enough, I must take control of my life.

So I went and signed myself up for these home study lessons Like they have suggested,I have been trying to do a lesson a week.

My Goal: Meditate for fiteen-twenty minutes a day in the morning everyday. And if possible (they say I should should)a fifteen minutes session in the evening also =]

I am not very religious,and my reasons for doing meditation are not all the same as the Organisation’s, so sometimes I disagree with some of the things they say, and sometimes I find some of the things funny.

That makes me worry if God would not like it; but then I guess its okay. He wants us to have fun too while learning to get closer to him :)

for a couple mos I was meditating every night before bed. I was able to go off sleeping pills and became calmer, but then lots of sad memories would enter my thoughts when I got quiet, so I stopped meditating because the sad thoughts were too much and I started taking the sleeping pills again.
But last night I meditated with a guided cd and it was good, I slept well too. I want to train my brain to reach the theta state when I am almost able to leave my body. I was able to do this sometimes before the memories became overwhelming.

I did my tai chi the day after my last entry. It felt great, then I got caught up in my wedding day! It’s over and now is the time to start the good habit of staying calm!! (smile)

sometime just starting is a jounery. Will do my Tai Chi before this day ends. Here goes I wrote it down so now it has a life.

Go to meetup.com or search “reiki circle (your zip code)” on google to find a Reiki circle. They’re either free or cheap (mine was $10) and it’s a great way to put you in a deep meditation. And the people practice Reiki on you! Keep trying out these circles until you find one that is a good match for you. If you’re in one of these circles, there’s no way you can avoid meditating.

I taught meditation but yet I lost the time to do it like I should.

Meditation makes me happier, calm, and focussed throughout the day. It also seems like when I meditate I notice and observe things in finer detail. My awareness increases. Ideas come easier. When I was in a bad mood for a whole week, I meditated in Yoga class, and then my bad mood was gone. Now I’m not in Yoga anymore, but I’d like to keep up with it. I’ve downloaded a few audios of guided meditation, which I like the most.

I always wanted to meditate on a regular basis, something like half an hour every morning – nothing fancy, but just focusing on deep breathing-in and breathing-out. Thank you for the good and practical advices and suggestions. I think I will start from tomorrow morning, maybe just 5 minutes around 6:30 a.m. as a starting point. Wish me good luck.
