A long lapse, then 9 Minutes
Last night I meditated for the first time since I left for Guatemala. It's been longer than I care to admit, but at least I'm getting back into it. Dave was there, which was nice. Knowing that he was sitting right in front of me, also meditating, kept me from giving up out of frustration and boredom.
I never used to get bored when I meditated, but now I've started to. My mind is so used to being occupied with two or three things at once that even having one thing at a time feels like too little, let alone trying to focus on nothing.
Again, I tried to focus on staying in the here and now, rather than getting the total stillness I used to strive for. I know there's no way I can achieve even an instant of stillness unless I can bring myself back to the present. I spend too much time letting my mind just run away with me.
I'll be trying to meditate again tonight, and I'll post the results.
