Meditation Journey- Week Six

Monday/Tuesday/Wednesday

I'm not going to lie as what is the point- the beginning of this week and meditation has been AWFUL. I had the app running the first two days but found the time i normally meditate at (just before bed) to be when drama was unfolding and I couldn't control my mind enough to complete it all the way through.

On Wednesday it was just down to laziness. I had the time before going to bed (as i went to sleep earlier again from sheer exhaustion) but found myself drifting off to sleep. It is a matter of finding the willpower as I know when I start I wake up and enjoy the experience- its just trusting my little tam on my shoulder when she tells me that.

KNOW THAT IT IS OK TO FALL OUT OF A PATTERN. YES IT IS NOT IDEAL BUT WE ARE ALL HUMANS AND MAKE MISTAKES, PRIORITIES AND LIFE HAPPENS. OUR TRUE SELF AND SPIRIT IS SHOWN IN HOW WE BOUNCE BACK. GET BACK INTO YOUR ROUTINE AND DO NOT ALLOW TOO MUCH TIME TO PASS.

DO NOT KICK YOURSELF BUT TAKE THE TIME TO NOTICE HOW IT AFFECTS YOUR LIFE DIFFERENTLY AND COME BACK EVEN STRONGER AND MORE MOTIVATED.

I did my meditation extra early today. Like early afternoon early.

During my immersive performance I found myself having free time sat in the most beautiful woods. I was surrounded by my pink tent and the forest around me and though I could feel the wind and how it would breeze through my hair I felt the protection of this flimsy princess tent all around me.

I would like to say it was my best meditation, but I was listening out for approaching audience members that weren't coming and as a result I ended up altering the meditation. Instead of eyes shut- which was not working for me today- I left my eyes open and had a soft focus on one of the branches outside of the tent. This was so my point was a fixed focus and not involving the movement of the tent. It worked better as I felt less stressed about the outside environment and as a result could focus more on the internal aspects of me.

The best bit was coming back out of a meditation to a new and beautiful environment. I cannot stress it enough. I felt so grounded and at myself. It made more sense being out in nature. Though I LOVED IT i wouldn't carry and set up that tent every day for a quick 15 minute session.

I am now almost through my beginner course again, and feel I will continue to revisit it every few weeks as I will look at everything in a different light.
