I have always been interested in the idea of meditation. I do believe there is a mind/body connection. If we feel good on the inside that has to shine through.
Yet I keep skirting the issue. I have found time for many other things, but meditation keeps evading me. I don't really know why? Maybe I'm afraid of something . . . As I mentioned in an earlier blog I started running nearly a year ago and feel that has become a form of meditation for me. I am able to let my mind go while jogging and I feel calmer for it. But why is it that I can't take ten or twenty minutes a day and just sit without a distraction. I don't have the answer.
I am not giving up. First I know I need a time of the day that works. If I make it a routine I'm more likely to stick to it. I know that. I finally decided post workout, pre-shower is the best for me. I am going to try and take a few moments to just sit quietly in my room without music or TV or my computer or telephones and to be still. It's harder than it sounds. Yesterday I made it for five minutes before I opened my eyes and looked at the clock. Five minutes! Seriously that's all I could do? That's terrible! It felt like an eternity! I sound like Colin, "how much longer Mommmmmm!"
Ok so meditation (and a shower) are calling me now. Six minutes . . . can I do it? ✿ Micheline
