This morning I had a fantastic and strange dream that I feel was deeply profound. I have not yet found the words to sum it up without adding all of the details but I am working on that and it is my intention to post it later today or tomorrow.
Today I was able to find 15 minutes to enjoy some binaural beats. I struggled to calm my mind and relax. I felt fidgety and distracted again. This time however I found a point on the tree outside my window. A hole between the leaves the flowed as the wind gently blew it around. It helped me to have this focus and I was able to stay for 5 minutes after the beat had ended. I did not want to get up. Even when I did finally get up I still felt somewhat detached and peaceful.
I definitely want to purchase some more effective binaural beats, I am sure I am not getting the full enjoyment that a highly tuned and well made beat can provide. That may have to wait till another week though, I will just add it on at the end.
I started looking into next weeks practice, Mantra Meditation and I found this link that explains many things but I was most interested in the wealth of knowledge they offer just on Meditation Posture. I plan to dive into that entirely before my next chance to meditate. Today I found it most comfortable lying down but they say this is not an effective meditation posture. Maybe that is why I feel so drowsy. I also feel peaceful and calm but my jaws are really tight.
Tomorrow morning I plan to head up to the Immaculate Heart retreat off the palouse. It is a beautiful place with great places for solitude, meditation and quiet contemplation. Saturday I am heading to a local park for a group guided meditation. I can't wait!
I'm doing it I'm doing it I'm really doing it!!!
