Mind's Eye
I had a great day today. The first thing I did today when I left the house this morning was go to "Bryn Mawr Running Co." They are a running store that I grew up buying my running shoes from in Bryn Mawr. Well not too long ago they opened a store in Media. HOW CONVENIENT! I have been living in Media the past year with some friends while attending college. So today I decided that I wanted to check out their new store, as I was in need of a new pair of running shoes. I ended up getting a great pair of shoes that my orthotics fit into very nicely. This can be an issue as my orthotics are often wider that the sole of the shoe. Then I went for a nice 3 mile run in them. They felt great right out of the box. (you can do that without the break-in period when you wear orthotics) My day continued to be great and lead to an amazing meditation today. At first I focused on my breathing as usual. I got myself to a point where I am breathing so softly, yet deeply, that I couldn't even feel the air passing through my nose. I felt so calm. Later in the meditation I began to focus on resting my eyes. You know how you can let your eyes get unfocused? Well I did that while my eyes were shut. I felt as if it gave me focus and really enhanced my calm. I also found it as a great way to bring myself back when I've drifted into a thought. What an incredible day!
