Unit two
Journey on Relaxation
Meditation is hard. Guided, self-guided, inclusion, exclusion-I just keep trying. The problem is that I cannot seem to still my body and mind. This particular exercise was not much different. I tried to create a quite space, so naturally one of my children decided to spend time with me. Miraculously, it was my teenage son. We both settled in to listen to the instructions, and my mind just kept wandering. I looked over at my son and he appeared to be very relaxed, so I decided to redouble my effort. I think I was trying too hard. My arms did manage to feel a little warmer and heavier for a moment, and I think I was a little more relaxed coming out of the exercise. I will consider this assignment to be just that, an exercise. I will need to keep working on it to see improvement.
Vernita-
ReplyDeleteI am in the same boat with you my friend...it seems hard to concentrate on meditation at times. I think that I let so many little distractions mess me up. For instance I am thinking to myself " am I doing this right" instead of jsut doing it. Hopefully we can both find some techniques that will help us better concentrate. Good luck
