So distracted when I sat last night and this morning. I had been at a book-launch party after work last night. Parties are more stimulation than I can take without being knocked all over the place. Started counting my breaths, and couldn't get beyond three. But it's ok, still feels like I sat.
In a similar situation to Jean but, I sat this morning too. Slightly longer than the past few days, 10-15 mins. I seem to have lost the solidity and groundedness of the first part of the 100 days, but I do feel that this is part of the waxing and waning process mentioned last week,and that it will return.
Ack. I just plain forgot last night, till I was in bed and drifting off. Silently said my prayers to myself and started following my breath and... I don't think I did it very long :-)
amlost didn't comment today as haven't sat the last couple of days. too much activity and a splitting headache from shoulder tension from too long too late rehearsing slow bass lines and too much bag/cello carrying through endless maze of rer, but still here in spirit and looking forward to renewing my commitment very very soon. like NOW.
brenda there are more than nine more days, there may be another 100 at least under a rather flashy banner so the more the merrier!
Brenda, how lovely to see you here - please stay! If you read some of the past days' discussions, you'll see that we don't intend to stop after the 100 days are up (indeed their are plans to upgrade the site!) Also that we are planning to try and all sit at the same time on Day 100.

hmmn, I meditate almost every day for a minimum of 15 minutes, and once a month do a 21/2 hour meditation, may I join for the last 9 days?

Hey, Brenda! So glad to see you here!
Ruth, what is a maze of rer? Sounds very intimidating.
