Wooster Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Just thought I'd start this thread for those of us who find it helpful to report in about other self care activities like exercise. This morning, I did a 50 minute guided meditation on "metta" (lovingkindness). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tryp Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Wow, 50 minutes today? Super impressed with you. I haven't done my 20 for the day yet, but I swear I will in the next hour 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wooster Posted March 10, 2015 Author Share Posted March 10, 2015 I *may* have fallen back asleep a bit... it was when I woke up at 5am and couldn't get back to sleep. Guided meditations are a LOT easier... especially when I'm still laying in bed and have just woken up. I did, though, do a full 20 silent sitting at lunch today.

WinterRosie Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 I read a tarot triad for me (and did a reading for someone else). Does that count? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also taught a 5 year old and his Nanna how to do Pebble Meditation tonight. Hoping to hit up the 10 minute headspace tonight, too Check. Yay me.

tryp Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 I sat in one place, turned on my meditation tape, and probably dissociated for 20 minutes. But I tried. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wooster Posted March 12, 2015 Author Share Posted March 12, 2015 It still counts, tryp. You made the effort to meditate and whatever your wild mind did is what it did. And it's ok. That's why it's called "practicing". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tryp Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 20 minutes today - and my 200th session in total! 2 month run streak and counting. That's a lot of 2s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gearhead Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 This morning, I did a 50 minute guided meditation on "metta" (lovingkindness). If you will indulge my curiosity for a moment, in what language is lovingkindness rendered as "metta?" I'm Jewish-I know it as "chesed."

Wooster Posted March 13, 2015 Author Share Posted March 13, 2015 I believe its Sanskrit. Might also be Pali. I'll check when I am not on my phone. I did an hour guided meditation this afternoon. Am starting a silent sitting meditation on the ferry. Should be about 20 Minutes. Eta... by the time I stopped farting around here it was 11 minutes.

Wooster Posted March 13, 2015 Author Share Posted March 13, 2015 It's Pali. The Sanskrit word is maitri. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wooster Posted March 17, 2015 Author Share Posted March 17, 2015 I intended to do a 40 minute silent sit with 8 minute intervals. However, the meditation timer only works when my screensaver is NOT on, so I ended up doing a 50 minute sit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wooster Posted March 18, 2015 Author Share Posted March 18, 2015 20 minute guided meditation compassionate body scan... I like this one, and would like it better if the waves were a little less loud. What I like about it is that she says it's ok if you don't feel relaxed or compassionate because we are just practicing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cosima Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 tried again today. i ended up falling asleep during my second 20 minute guided meditation attempt - which is good because i needed sleep but bad in terms of making the most of my meditation attempt.
