I’m always making resolutions,,,
Drink more water
Eat those 5 A Day
Blank the likely lads...sugar, caffeine, alcohol....
Not forgetting
the 10,000 steps….
This year I added yet again,,,, Practise Meditation.
I've been trying to do this for a very long time and ....
but I think the most user friendly inspiration on this subject
comes from Pema Chodron.
See links.
And in the meantime here's a short report
On Meditating
I squat in half-lotus
Sort of
Count the out-breaths
One to five
Eye gaze-lowish
Torso-upright
Hands- relaxed
Thoughts -police
Cloud by cloud
Wave by wave drifting by
What's for dinner?
Remember to ring Helen
Back to the out-breath
One to five
Fuchsia boxing the wind outside
What rhymes with wind or rain or tide?
Label it “thinking”
Think about shopping
Backwards this time
Ten, nine, eight…
What quiche to make?
Seven, six, five
Will I walk or drive?
Four, three, two
Or make a stew?
Until- before long
The gong...
I have listed meditation in my goals for so many years now. This year is the first time ever that I have found a rhythm to meditate once a week!! I love how you have gone into the person's head and caught everything that runs through!
