Lol I left my computer and used Leela on my futon. I did the 8 minute energizing session, then the 10 minute "heart opening" session. It was quite nice. It had me breathing in thoughts for peace about myself, and then breathing out thoughts of peace for someone else. I chose you Quite a lovely meditation session!

Oh, thank you! I really appreciate that. I really need to recharge after these last three days. I sat quietly in bed with a back scratch brush and did deep breathing and back scratching. I tried not too think about anything - i just wanted to relax. Breathe in, breathe out...

Meditating can come in a wide variety of styles - for example walking meditation involves moving around, and there is meditation that focuses on sound or on a visual.
So a meditation of a back scratching sounds like one way to draw in focus!

Tonight I am going for a 20 minute meditation, letting thoughts that float into my mind float out again like a cloud.

Ooops, I forgot about tonite. It takes a while to make a habit. Let's stop talking about the back scratching merits. I will relate what I am doing with all honesty, k?

Dear Jilly my comment was meant to by playful jilly, a bit of a chuckle or a smile once in awhile is also very medicinal in finding inner peace with oneself. i saw no harm on commenting where it is a open discussion...and was drawing upon what i have known in many different types of meditational instructions. also, there is no issue here about honesty being involved...as i was also being honest.

Jilly -
Just a minor comment because people are finding and reading this thread, and others may want to do meditation involving objects touching their body.
Several of my meditation books do talk about touch being a key sense, and that meditating with touch can be a powerful way to meditate.
One category of suggestions involves your own body. Many suggest resting your hand on your stomach and sensing the natural activity that takes place there. Related to that is the set that has you rest your hand on your heart, for the same reason.
A second set of suggestions involves an inanimate object at rest. So you hold a non-dangerous object and meditate on it. It can be a smooth stone, a multi-facet angled rock, a twisted piece of wood, whatever connects with you at the moment. You explore the dimensions and textures of the object.
A third set of suggestions merges the two and has you interacting that object with your body and examining the sensations that result. So a back scratcher is an ideal form of this.

It's important when we respond to posts that we create an atmosphere that we encourage and welcome their progress. Our hope is to draw new, shy members into sharing their own thoughts.
If we set an expectation that a person will be told "you are doing it wrong", then that discourages why people from posting.
We want to strive to create an atmosphere where people feel they will be encouraged and supported, however they are choosing to begin.

Sorry for the delay, with the classwork I'm running a little late tonight. It's 10:20pm and I'm ready to meditate! I desperately need it after today's stress Thank goodness I got all the papers in before that deadline. The teachers take a full grade letter off for papers that are submitted late. OK. Long breaths. Bob is playing Skyrim so I think I will go meditate upstairs where there are no sounds of screaming monsters

I did about a half hour of meditation, that was just what I needed. I did a candle meditation in my room. I lit a candle and focused on it. It flickered a lot on the beginning and I thought about getting another candle. But then I thought that this was part of the lesson, to deal with things that might normally seem annoying, and to learn to accept the way they are. So I began to think of the flickering candle as a twinkling star, and I was able to relax with it. And the candle settled down, and it was lovely

I was sitting around a fire this evening and missed the meditation time. Staring at a fire is nice, though, and has it's own meditative qualities.

I try to meditate every night when I'm soaking in a bubble bath...sorry Jilly...no reading, no music, just me and the bubbles. But then I start to think, with nothing else to do with my brain, then pretty soon I'm either stressing out or upset about something. I suck at meditation.

you dont really suck at meditation...as soon as your mind starts to drift...thats when you need to redirect back to ...how that bubble bath feels ..and your pampering yourself...take a facecloth at that moment or just cup your hand and drizzle the water over yourself and watch the droplets ..be aware of how it feels an looks...swish the water...maybe add a bit more warm water...and listen to it fill the tub more...have some music on...close your eyes feel the steaminess things like that...

Dear Kathy -
Illusive is exactly right. Meditation is the *practice* of learning to tune your mind. You can't suck at it. You are just at a different stage of practicing which is fine. Every human gets distracted thoughts, and the practice of meditation helps us to learn how to let those drift away again.
There will always be times that we get sucked into our thoughts, and that's normal! When we realize we have been, then we smile gently at ourselves, praise ourselves for realizing it, and refocus on our breath and the bubbles.
One step at a time!

Dear Jilly -
I have a timer on my PC that goes off every hour. It's the only way I'm aware of time passing. Without the timer I'd never remember that I want to set aside time for meditation. Maybe your phone or PC can have a timer on it?

OK it is 10pm on Tuesday. Time for a meditation. Maybe tonight I will do a moving meditation - walking heel to toe around the house. I wish I had snow - last year I made a labyrinth spiral in the snow and adored it. I was really looking forward to doing it again this year, but no snow!! It's unfair, winter is supposed to be about beautiful snow. But I need to remember that nature is varied and that is fine With this year's lack of snow I will appreciate next year's snow even more than usual. So I will make an indoor labyrinth.

I *adore* snow. You can ski! You can sled! It looks absolutely gorgeous. Snow snow snow. I think we're getting some tomorrow! Hurrah!! I wouldn't live in New England if I didn't adore snow It's why I'm here! OK, on to meditation. Hmmmm, what kind of meditation to explore tonight. Taste! I've done sight, sound, texture, touch, movement. Now taste. I will meditate with a glass of wine next to me, and explore all aspects of its taste.

Sorry sorry I'm here - Bob was having challenges with the holopchi cooking process so I had to call my mom on the phone (we're Ukrainian) and get the low-down on how this is supposed to work. So now the cabbage is cored and I'm back to my desk.
I'm ready to meditate! I'll go with Jilly's idea and do yoga moving meditation tonight.

i love Golompkies...what you call...holopchi...i make them often during the winter and have a recipe from a very old full polish woman...some call them pigs in the blanket or just plain old cabbage rolls...such a comfort food i think...and they sound like a lot of work but i find prepartion to go quite smoothly and quickly enough... the real challenge is to find in some store cabbage large enough so when you need to cut away the vein you still have a large enough leaf to roll the contents in. I however, dont use saurkraut or ham ...therein lies the cultural differences in recipes.

OK it's nearly 10pm on Wednesday, I am being prepared this time. I have my Wii turned on and Leela all powered up. I've got it ready to do a 12 minute guided meditation.
I'll send a link to this thread out to my Twitter and Facebook page - hopefully we'll get some people to relax with us tonight!

Okey dokey! Exactly 10pm! And Leela is live and waiting! Hurrah I will go with my lovely ginger twist tea and do the 12 minute guided meditation, and then whatever one unlocks after that which may be a 15 minute one. Chime in if you're meditating too!

That's great Jilly! I did the 12 minute meditation and then a 14 minute meditation after that. I've now unlocked a 17 minute meditation, the final one. I need to get my logic schoolwork in before midnight, but I think once I do that that I'll go back and do the 17 minute one, they were really restful.

OK it's 10pm on Thursday! I have Leela up and ready to go. I did do the 17 minute meditation yesterday - today I think I'll go through a section of each meditation, to better document what each is about. Each one uses a different focus, to help users learn about a variety of techniques. I'll post the summary when I'm done!

10pm on Friday night! I got caught up in my schoolwork and somehow missed my chiming alert. OK I'm ready! It'll be good to take a break, I'm in finals week so I have two final papers due on Sunday. Lots of stuff to do.
OK, meditation. Bob has taken over the TV so no Leela. Hmmm. I think I will do a walking meditation, heel to toe, that can be a nice break from sitting.

I missed Sat and Sun for various reasons, but here we are on Monday and I definitely need it! I'm helping a friend of mine proof his book for publication. I did a full sweep of his book and fixed NUMEROUS typos in it. Now he just gave me a fresh version and all my typo fixes are gone! He accidentally did his polishing work on an old version of the document. So I had to run a "document compare" between the two and am manually redoing my typo fixes. Again. It's frustrating to do the same work twice. At least this time I don't have to find them again, just make the fixes indicated by the Word compare.
How shall I meditate tonight. When I tried my walking meditation, I kept getting distracted by the clutter everywhere. So that wasn't ideal. Maybe a feet-up-the-wall quiet one tonight.

Tuesday I was sound asleep, my sleep schedule is getting unusual even for me Today I'm here! I had a lovely dinner with my mom, then an hour of PS3 dancing, and now it's a great time for a mental break! Maybe a breath meditation tonight, that is always a good one to work on.

That sounds awesome Jilly! Soft blankets bring a great texture into your meditation.
Bob is off shopping so I actually have a silent house. I think I will do a sitting breath meditation again. That is very restful for me.
I woke up at 6pm today and pretty much all I have been doing for the past 4 hours is sorting my email. I really need to get this under control, there is SO much mail deluging me that I am falling further behind. So a focus break would help me a lot.

Yesterday I was caught up in dancing and went right past meditation time. I guess I was doing a dancing meditation! It's good for my health at least Today I am busy reloading my first four medieval novels up. I had found a few minor typos in each one once they went live, and I waited until now in case more were reported. But it seems that's all there was. So they all get shiny new versions for going forward. I have three done, and will take a meditation break! I think a sitting meditation will do nicely.

I'm so sorry I've been away. Things have been absolutely hectic in my life. I am finally feeling like I can breathe again. My mom keeps asking me to visit to see a show or something, and I can't even imagine doing it. Every second is already backlogged; I can't possibly take 5 hours to just sit and watch entertainment.
I need to get my life back under control. This is just too much, with the school and work and books and everything else.
OK, I really need to be able to *breathe*.
Meditation today. Sit on the couch. Close my eyes. Even ten minutes would be a blessing right now.

I completely fell out of practice on my meditation. And I do miss it immensely. I need to work it back into my schedule. I am making good progress on the house decluttering project so I think that will help a lot. I would love to have a much less filled house.
I will set my alarm to do a meditation tonight at 10pm - so in an hour and 20 minutes. I'd love to have people join me!

OK I am here! It is 10pm! I will strive to do a 5 minute meditation. I think I need to start in a small dose - it's been a very long day full of lots of coding, and it's not done yet. Still, progress is being made.
So here I go, turning down the lights and breathing deeply. Come join me!

OK my hard drive melted down early this week and I'm barely getting it back running again. One of the replacement hard drives we brought home didn't work either. So it's been a long, stressful week. I can definitely use some moments of quiet here, to relax and regroup! I will aim for five minutes tonight. My computer is busy doing windows updates anyway

LOL what's funny is I have an alert on my computer, and lately I get annoyed that the alert disrupts something I'm doing! It goes to show how much I really need the meditation, to regain some balance in my life. I'll do my best to meditate tonight .

I have been bad about this. When the timer goes off it interrupts me and I ignore it. Clearly I need to work on this. I wanted to do ten full minutes. I just can't take that long of a break right in the middle of my day. I'm now going to aim for ONE minute . That won't slow down my coding too much if I'm deep into coding. Hopefully that can get me back on track.

(no posts between 12/14 and 12/27) I'm not even doing one minute. This is fairly sad. I know how important meditation is.
I will do one minute right now. I could definitely use it!

(no posts between 12/27/12 and 4/19/13) It is amazing how even the simplest things slip away when one doesn't pay attention to them.
I do try to meditate every night when I lay in bed, and I suppose that does count. But I would like something a little more deliberate, vs using the time I can't fall asleep for something useful.
I will strive to get back into this practice, starting tonight! One day at a time!

That was lovely! During much of it I could feel the mess around me "pressing in" on me. It just seemed so powerful. I think that's an important sign for me that I have to clean up this office. I don't think I realize how much the mess affects me until I sit down and just sit in it like that.

We are about fifteen minutes away from our evening meditation! Get something to drink, settle down, and join me in a peaceful meditation!
It's OK if you have random thoughts during this. That's what meditation is all about. It's about dealing with those thoughts. Think of it like weightlifting. It wouldn't really be weightlifting without weights giving resistance to you. Those thoughts are the resistance and you're practicing dealing with them.

That was quite lovely! And I opened my eyes exactly after ten minutes, without a timer or anything.
My boyfriend was watching the news so I played a Windham Hill song set to overlay it, and that was quite peaceful.

I ended up doing fifteen minutes - it was lovely! A bit cluttered thoughts at first, but definitely cleaning up my office has helped a lot. I feel much more serene in here. And over time the thoughts faded away. I focused on my breath this time, counting each out-breath up to 10 and then restarting. Then I ended with a visualization of my Tibetan temple with hyacinths and birds singing.

A lovely ten minute meditation, meditated to three songs by Enya. Have to take May It Be out though - it fills me with poignancy. It's the song from the first Lord of the Rings and I think I connect with that series too strongly to use it as a meditation song smile.

A lovely twenty minute meditation for me. Lots of swirling thoughts, but I gently tamed them. How did you do?

That was lovely, although I think I need to take Somewhere Over the Rainbow by Israel K out of the mix. It triggers too many thought-patterns for me.

A lovely walking meditation session. I find I am able to slow down and release tension more when I'm walking vs sitting. On the down side, my house is quite messy so walking around it tends to distract me and make me discouraged. So I should walk around outside next time, if it's not raining.

Object based meditation is when you focus on a flickering candle flame, moving fountain, or other object -

Winged Migration is so intriguing to meditate to. A variety of thoughts. This time it was on nature interacting with pollution. A reminder that what we do to this earth matters.

A lovely meditation session. I love the scenes of the elderly farm woman feeding the large storks as they stop over from their migration.

Ten minutes until my 10pm meditation. I think tonight I'll just do a quiet, mind-clearing meditation. No video, no sound. Join me!

A nice, relaxing meditation. The hummm of the AC is quite soothing. The dark helps too.

Cool, someone is working on life-size holograms. I'll meditate on what kind of fun that would be. My own live chess set! Join me

A lovely, relaxing meditation. And now Bob is serenading me with his bass guitar. A delightful evening.

Somehow I've lost all the posts between December and July. Sorry about that!! I'll see if I can recover them from a backup.

Wow, ok, so I spent five hours recovering as many posts as possible. I think I missed a few, but most of the thread is intact again. Hopefully I don't do that again! . Now to do some yoga, to help my aching shoulders!

Last night I meditated to lovely medieval music, thanks to Dave and the band's after-gig soundtrack. Tonight I'll simply soak in silence.
