Grateful for the sunshine at the end of a difficult time. Things change, people change, change is in the air :)
New days and new beginnings that happen every day.
Happiness is but inside your mind
waiting to be discovered :)
Happy Day everyone

did 30, sort of, repeated mantram 9 times (have to make a sort of rosary), then tried without focus, kept drifting and finding myself daydreaming, took last five minutes to "return", thinking of adding that as a definate part of the meditation, a while back I was reading about how "entering" and "returning" are supposed to be integral parts of yoga but are often skipped by westerners to save time, I guess we instinctually try to "tough it out" rather than allowing

Meditated in the evening.

Decided at the end gong to give it a few minutes more, and immediately found I was waiting for the screen to go black, which would be my sign to stop. The mind works in curious ways...

Experimented with where to focus my eyes. It is not possible to not focus the eyes of course - if your eye muscles are relaxed, your eyes are focused on infinity, which in practice means you will see everything sharp that's more than a few meters away. So unless you meditate in a very neutral space, either relax the eye muscles, which means you will have to stop your mind from getting lost in what it sees, or focus closer, to some point quite nearby where you really don't see anything. The former feels looser, the latter more focused.

Again I come to this page with nothing to say, or too much to say... nurtured reading thoughtful observations, off to sit for a while.
