Meditation Reflection Day 6 (With Timer)


OK, here we go. Last night I veered from my usual guided practice and sat with a timer only for the first time. I enjoyed the experience and will try and do it once per day now. It was a pleasant break form the drone of some guided meditations I've been listening to. Some of them give me the impression of a person who likes the sound of their own voice waffling down a mic for 10 mins repeating the same shit I've heard before. I began to feel that perhaps their outpourings were getting in the way of my concentration, so last night I gave them the flick and all went well. I feel more in control than usual, but of course I'm aware this could have been purely circumstantial. Let's see how it goes moving forward.

All for now...

Meditation Reflection Day 1 (Blast Off)

OK, welcome to 'My Daily Meditation Blog' to you all. Thanks for taking the time to read and join me on this quest to delve deeper into the mind.

Clutter with work, cluttered with a a confused sense of self, cluttered with hazy ideas about other people, what they represent and their worth to me, and most of all cluttered with the incessant chatter that accompanies the aftermath of drinking alcohol. Thus, if you...

Meditation Reflection Day 4 (Messy Mind)

I started today mildly hungover after consuming a few beers last night. As a result, I missed my morning practice and only did a 4 minute 'Base Shakra Meditation' this evening. To be honest, I struggled to get into moment today. All day my mind was spinning from one negative thought to the next, and I found myself tired and irritable. In moments like these, I ask myself 'Why have any beers?' for all they do is make me talk nonsense and feel sub-par the following day. Anyway, this evening's practice was over before it started. I didn't feel like I made any progress at all, but then again perhaps I'm trying to hard. Maybe I should should stop expecting anything and just breathe. This is exactly what I'll do next time. Tomorrow is a nee day after all.
