Today we are beginning a twenty-one day meditation adventure under the guidance of our Adventurous Meditation Mentor and friend! Our commitment is to, first thing in the morning, sit down and meditate for ten minutes and then stretch for another ten (or more as it often turns into!) We invite you to join us on this fun adventure!
What Do I Do?
The only thing we are going to do is sit down and breathe. Deep breaths. And then choose what we are going to focus on, and return our attention to when the mind wanders. The focus can be anything comforting - the breathe, a word, a phrase, a candle, the sound of birds or ocean waves. Don't worry where the mind wanders, just come back to your comforting image, sound, word, when you remember. |
It's getting yourself to sit down that is important, we are learning, and doing it consistently. So it can be for two or five minutes if you like, just make sure to do it every day. It also important to remind yourself why you are doing it before you start. You can do it first thing in the morning after you wake up, or after making your bed, or shower. Just make sure it is before you leave the house or start work!
Visit the Adventurous Meditation Mentor website for the guidance that we are following! She will provide you with day to day support on this!
A Thought for You as You Begin the Week
Taking responsibility does not mean you take other's off the hook for their own actions. It simply means you take them off the hook for impacting yours.
