Nearly missed a day! Slept in, barely made it to PaB on time for my session, so didn't get around to sitting until early evening. Very restive, mind chattering away like a forest full of squirrels.

I am starting today.

My resolution is to do at least 10 minutes of body-centered meditative practice every day. That is, Chi Kung (standing practice), T'ai Chi, and/or prostrations.
Sitting or lie-down mediation do not count. T'ai chi lessons, when they start again, will count for that day. I will experiment with the optimum time of day.

Today I did eight minutes of standing meditation, followed by a few prostrations. It was pretty hard to start doing it (so what's new?) but it felt good to feel by body and mind settle into a more natural posture.

Thank you for setting this up. I needed it. edited 20:37, 27 Aug 2011

Sat up in bed for last night's sitting, eyes closed again, which was interesting. Slept well with pleasant feel to dreams.

Got into bed really tired, sat up. Annoyed by constant loud hum coming from neighbor's house - must speak with him. Air has tropical storm sinking feeling. So does my mind :-)
