Starting again after a long pause, due to pressure of work, unhappiness (cause & effect), and general laziness. Perhaps I can commit to 16 days of meditation?
Sunny and windy with a clear blue sky, I hope your weekend weather is as nice.
Udge: welcome back. 16 days is good .... enjoy the sunshine.
Lorianne: hope you continue to recover.
It's beautiful here as well and I have just sat and chanted/meditated for 20 mins. I have been skimping my meditation time for no good reason recently, even though I have sat each day, so feels good to be more wholehearted about it.
Dale, thanks for posting the times for 7 April. Here in the UK we move from GMT to BST (British Summer Time) tomorrow,Sunday 26th, and the clocks go forward an hour, hence the discrepancy you noted.
welcome back udge and thank you dale for your times and also for the three breath suggestion! I managed them on the day I didn't sit while I was reading you!
My oldest friend is staying for a couple of months which is lovely but tends to fill up little holes where I might otherwise have sat!
Beth I understand your dilemma, and struggle with it every day. Today everyone went out and I had a wonderful day alone at home just thinkking about myself and my creative, physical, dietary and spatial needs. It was wonderful and I am certainly a much nicer person to come home to. It is rare that I have that space. I am finding one of the easiest things for me to do is ask for space but then I feel guilty aboout being selfish, as you say Beth, and don't follow it through so I give both a mixed message which feels ma,nipulative, and don't get what I need.
Had a glorious sit, just feeling my whole body and being opening to the new season. It has been REALLY crappy weather, very unusual for here, and to be warm again was delicious.
Between you & me, Udge, I'm trying to commit to *one day* of meditation, starting today. Or maybe even just 15 minutes of meditation...or just a minute...or maybe three breaths... ;-)
I'm feeling "mostly" better, although I still have sudden bouts of exhaustion. Tonight to "reintroduce" myself to my cushion, I did 27 bows (I haven't done *any* in *weeks*!) followed by 15 minutes of tired & lazy meditation: a start...
