I’m going to try and do this twice daily alongside the Artist’s way. I’m going to use this website and try and do each class for a week. Just did the candle exercise, whilst listening to some meditation music I downloaded from itunes. I also had some incense burning but this hasn’t gone down well with the rest of the family, so I think I’ll just stick to the music from now on.
I’m going to try and do this every morning and evening, today was in the afternoon as I got up late.
I feel a little calmer. Think it’ll work better once I build up to longer intervals, only did 5 minutes.

Meditation is a very interesting practice. Every time I meditate I experience something different. I feel things that are usually can not be felt normally and sometimes I get distracted by these. Last night I experience something I never had before. It felt like I had no body and at the same time I had two. I don’t know how to put this in words ,really, but it was different.

I’ve decided I need a proper goal so I know when I’m done. I’m going to try meditating at least once a day (ideally twice) for 10 minutes. Its not a huge goal but I want to integrate this with my normal life so I have to do it slowly methinks.
So far so good I have been doing this for a week… 23 days to go!
Hopefully by the end of the 30 days it will be as natural as cleaning my teeth twice a day :D

Instead of trying to do 15 minutes with my ADHD-mind, I though it would be better to start with 10 calm minutes.
An actually I did pretty good the last 4 days.
No bouncing of the walls, but I kept pretty cool.
It is really good progress this stillness in my mind.

I’m very lucky in that I find meditating quite simple (I know some people have trouble slowing down and controlling their thoughts). However I don’t practise daily so thats something I would like to do.
I want to keep it simple (maybe try other stuff as it becomes more of a habit) just focusing on my breathing for 5/10 minutes in the morning and at night.

the 45 minutes of prayer this morning counts, I haven’t meditated once since I posted this goal.

Wow, a lot of people aming to meditate daily. That is positive.
I am having ADHD and really wish to find my peace, without using medicine.
I think Nico has a nice point. To at least hold it up for 30 days.
I want to long term is to meditate for a half our a day, but I really start to bounce if I try. This months goal would be 15 minutes a day for a whole month.
Everyone, love and joy in the road to meditation!

30 min a day is ideal, i think. I think it’s one of those things best done daily for two or three years. Or rather, I suppose, that is not what I think. That is what a particular individual whom I respect thinks. Hm. Perhaps I’ll meditate on that.
Meditation, this and that, lol
I have no idea if there’s a method, methods, schools of thought regarding, etc. Whatever: perfection!
