Meditation and Prayer 4 days ago

I continue to Pray and Meditate every morning, and find it starts my day off in a much more centered way.

Thus far I have not made any “rules” for myself when I pray or meditate. I just take time for Purposeful Thought, combined with Prayers for whatever moves my heart that day.

I’ve heard it said how prayer is the “asking” and meditation is for the “listening”. That idea resonates smoothly for me.

Namaste,

Elle Lyzette

I was told by a medium I needed to meditate, but it is hard. My mind seems to wander and I can not focus.

I am currently reading Thich Naht Hanh’s book The Miracle of Mindfulness, which is helping to remind me how important the present moment is, and how to stay “in” (with consciousness) the present :)

Well... 1 month ago

I did get a chance to meditate last night, so let’s see how today goes. I feel exhausted because I didn’t get enough sleep, but I feel a little more focused.

I’ll get more sleep tonight and tomorrow will be my REAL first start.



Baby steps 1 month ago

I have a meditation CD that my mother bought for me last semester when finals were starting and it really helped with my stress level. I’m going to try and make listening to the CD a habit, then wean myself off of the CD so I can meditate alone when I don’t have my iPod on me (which, admittedly, is rare).

I’m interested to see how this will help. I’ve been feeling very depressed and worried lately and I think calming my mind will help somewhat. I’ll keep you all posted and – if it helps – give you the name of the CD!

Happy meditating!

I’ve bought a book and signed up for a class in meditation. I tried this morning with instruction from the book I bought, it was very enlightening and made me feel better prepared to face the day.



Kalibebti thanks to wunderSis Jane for reminding me about Intentions at New Moon

I am tired of the title of this goal. I am so pedantic sometimes. But I want to keep a record of it. 2 months ago

Meditate on the 8/15 dream and the 1/16 dream. Meditate on nothing, because it’s good for my brain. Practice acknowledging suffering & releasing fury. Sustain awareness of the necessity of mindful action.



perilisk kinda never sleeps... sigh.

I registered to a Vipassana class in Belgium.. 2 months ago

So that should keep me busy and set me ready. I know it’s a tough class but I think I need drastic methods.

Stress Relief 3 months ago

I need to meditate really bad … I have a tendency to be stress at times even though I don’t show it much ….nervous tension energy amplified within me kinda like a rush while riding in a rolller coaster ride! how fun would that be huh? ...except when your brain needs haywiring to think and focus right through! Been taking Youtube meditation techniques and tutorials…really really helpful check it out if you guys like it.
