Did you meditate TODAY?

[Wooster]

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).

[tryp]

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

[Wooster]

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.

I read a tarot triad for me (and did a reading for someone else). Does that count?

[Wooster]

If you think it counts, it counts, Rosie!  

[tryp]

I did 20 minutes!

[Wooster]

WHOOP!

20 minute guided meditation about motivation

20 minute guided meditation about anxiety relief

 

I really like it when people ask me to meditate with them at my work.

 

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.

I sat in one place, turned on my meditation tape, and probably dissociated for 20 minutes.  But I tried.

[Wooster]

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".

20 minutes today - and my 200th session in total!  2 month run streak and counting.

 

That's a lot of 2s.

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]

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]

It's Pali. The Sanskrit word is maitri.

[Wooster]

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.

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.

30 minute guided medtation on gratitude

[tryp]

Good job woo!

 

I did 20 minutes today.

[cosima]

i attempted a 20 minute mediation today, but it didn't work out. i will try again tomorrow. 

[cosima]

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.
