Today's meditation was very challenging. Faces of dozens of people would rush into sight, one at a time but only for an instant. I did not recognize any of the faces, they meant nothing to me. I have no idea where they came from. Possibly compilations of facial features that stick out to me. Who knows.
I need to find a method that works for me, something I can go back to again and again. I have trouble deciding which method to use. Today I must have tried a half dozen different ways to meditate and couldn't fall into relaxation. I even got frustrated with all the noise occurring around me.
It wasn't until I began repeating a phrase that I finally felt some relief.
"Fear nothing, defy your boundaries."
A quote I came up with during high school. During my meditation, I felt my mouth begin to open very very slowly. I could not have opened my mouth at this rate if I had tried. It was then that I knew I was beginning to fully relax, because the muscles holding my mouth in its previous position were giving way.
Not a bad session after all. Just a tough one.
