10 minutes

After a long hiatus, I spent 10 minutes meditating this evening. I started off by listening to Zencast's Zen Garden by Thich Nhat Hanh and then I used the 10 minute meditation timer to time my meditation.

I keep saying I'll keep it up, but I'm not so good at sticking to that. Well, here's to trying, again.

9 minutes

It amazes me sometimes, just how much my mind races.

I didn't acheive any stillness this time, but I managed to remind myself just how long that can take. I reminded myself that if I keep it up it will get better.

I used the 10 minute meditation timer from Zencast. It's just ten minutes of silence with some soft music on either end. Unfortunately I reached my limit and became convinced that it had ended without my noticing about a minute before the end, so then I had to check it, and I didn't do the whole ten minutes. Now that I know what the end sounds like, though, hopefully I'll be able to sit through the whole thing next time. My hope is to use this timer every evening for the next week and see what happens.
