Square One

The journey begins. My first day toward developing the use of meditation is very much welcomed. I have no 'set in stone' method to meditating thus far, hence I am open to ideas. In the past I have attempted to slow my breathing while relaxing each and every body part, one at a time. We used to do it in track. I remember one time that I had imagined myself floating several feet below the track. Very cool feelings.

Anyhow, as I began to meditate today, I discovered that I had an itch on my left eye. Then my left ear, my nose, my right shoulder, and my right pectoral. While these may not be your typical results, I was nonetheless happy with them. I was becoming aware of how each part of my body was feeling, while not thinking of anything else.

So however obscure this session may have been, it was a peaceful and successful one.
