Decided to start meditating yesterday. It ws hard to keep thoughts from creeping into my mind, but I know it will get easier...and it was very calming. Make me want to keep it up!
Some people think that meditating is too completely clear your mind and be void of all thought, when on the contrary, your mind could be full of thoughts. This site explains it better than I can: http://www.howtomeditate.us/
thanks for link! and good luck to you both, and thanks for the inspiration to get back into this!
didn't do this as much last week. trying to go to bed early, and it threw me off with the meditation. will commit to doing this more this week
Go to pandora and create a yoga station. It makes it so relaxing when I meditate. I got my 6 year old son doing it too!! My work offers yoga twice a week during lunch, so I get to meditate at work. Started doing it at my desk 15 minutes a day. Good luck all!!
thank you for the suggestion! i started listening to this with my kids at bedtime
It's a great tool. Really calms my kids down when I light candles, kill the lights, and put on some pandora yoga radio.
I do this now! It's so wonderful and I do it right before I go to bed. I've been sleeping better since I started! :) The music is so helpful too!

yay for free apps on the iphone!
still haven't figured out how to work this into my day...downloaded some iphone apps...maybe one of those will help me after getting kids to school
Do you have 15-20 minutes of time to be alone each day? I see you have kids, so I can imagine it is difficult. If you have the time, dim the lights, put on some soothing music, and practice breathing. You can look up yoga breathing techniques, they put me at ease instantly. Just relax, focus on something, and try to set a time limit and stick with it. I always find myself setting a 15 minute time limit and stopping at 10 min. It is important to make time for yourself everyday.
I meditated ten minutes this morning before I went to the gym. I don't know if it was a coincidence or what but I had one of the best workouts I've had in a while. In the zone the whole time.
I'm looking into Christian meditation. Over prayers and verses. Anyone else into the same thing that can help me get started? I love to meditate over everything from God, so any topic especially faith and health are welcome :D
I think you got it. Read and pray. Pray about what you read in the scriptures.

Did not meditate today. I'm taking on this "dare" pretty late in the day, so tomorrow will be more focused!
