10pm on Sunday! I missed last night because of the gig.

Time to meditate!

It's 10pm on a Monday night! Time to meditate! Ohhhmmmmmmm smile

Last night was a BellaOnline editor chat so I was busy chatting.

Tonight I'm here!

Long, deep breaths smile

Ah, i will hopefully remember to join tonite. That will be 8pm Mt Time here. smile

Set your timer for tonight, 10pm EST!

Is this happening now?
Posted By: Lisa Shea Re: Daily Meditation - 10pm EST - 02/04/12 03:04 AM
Yup, 10pm, I am here! Close your eyes and take in a long, deep breath!
Posted By: jilly Re: Daily Meditation - 10pm EST - 02/04/12 03:11 AM
Still breathing... smile
Posted By: Lisa Shea Re: Daily Meditation - 10pm EST - 02/04/12 03:28 AM
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 smile

Quite a lovely meditation session!
Posted By: jilly Re: Daily Meditation - 10pm EST - 02/04/12 03:32 AM
Oh, thank you! I really appreciate that. I really need to recharge after these last three days. smile

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...
Posted By: illusive Fantasy Re: Daily Meditation - 10pm EST - 02/04/12 05:43 AM
well i could be mistaken but i believe when your meditating your not suppose to be doing back scratching at the same time jilly giggle...bet it felt good tho smile
Posted By: Lisa Shea Re: Daily Meditation - 10pm EST - 02/04/12 06:51 AM
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!
Posted By: Lisa Shea Re: Daily Meditation - 10pm EST - 02/05/12 03:03 AM
It's 10pm on Saturday night - time to enjoy meditation!

Tonight I am going for a 20 minute meditation, letting thoughts that float into my mind float out again like a cloud.
Posted By: illusive Fantasy Re: Daily Meditation - 10pm EST - 02/05/12 04:13 AM
well maybe you think back scratching draws focus but i can truly say ive never seen anyone anywhere at anytime advocate it or tell someone to do that while meditating...im certain you cant either giggle crazy lets be a lilllll bit realistic here. smile
Posted By: jilly Re: Daily Meditation - 10pm EST - 02/05/12 05:30 AM
Ooops, I forgot about tonite. It takes a while to make a habit. smile

Let's stop talking about the back scratching merits. I will relate what I am doing with all honesty, k?
Posted By: illusive Fantasy Re: Daily Meditation - 10pm EST - 02/05/12 06:25 AM
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. smile

also, there is no issue here about honesty being involved...as i was also being honest.

Posted By: jilly Re: Daily Meditation - 10pm EST - 02/05/12 07:00 PM
Illusive, I am not a newbie to meditating. I am a bit sensitive sometimes though when i feel like someone makes me look foolish. Not your fault; my problem with me.
Posted By: Lisa Shea Re: Daily Meditation - 10pm EST - 02/05/12 07:01 PM
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.
Posted By: Lisa Shea Re: Daily Meditation - 10pm EST - 02/05/12 07:05 PM
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.
Posted By: Lisa Shea Re: Daily Meditation - 10pm EST - 02/06/12 03:21 AM
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 smile 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 smile
Posted By: Lisa Shea Re: Daily Meditation - 10pm EST - 02/06/12 05:04 AM
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 smile
Posted By: jilly Re: Daily Meditation - 10pm EST - 02/06/12 06:17 AM
that is quite nice! I like that!

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.
Posted By: Lisa Shea Re: Daily Meditation - 10pm EST - 02/06/12 09:48 AM
Yes definitely staring at a flame is a classic form of meditation. Well done!
Posted By: Lisa Shea Re: Daily Meditation - 10pm EST - 02/07/12 03:02 AM
10pm on Monday! Time for relaxing meditation! I think I may do sound meditation tonight. I want to try a variety over the days.
Posted By: illusive Fantasy Re: Daily Meditation - 10pm EST - 02/07/12 04:47 AM
oh starting at a fire is very nice to meditate and at live coals on how the fire within them dance...
Posted By: PDM Re: Daily Meditation - 10pm EST - 02/07/12 04:17 PM
Oh, yes, a real fire. Beautiful!
Posted By: Lisa Shea Re: Daily Meditation - 10pm EST - 02/08/12 03:01 AM
10pm on Monday! Meditation time! What haven't I done yet. Touch meditation. OK, I'm going to meditate with something in my hands to examine.
Posted By: jilly Re: Daily Meditation - 10pm EST - 02/08/12 03:44 AM
Crud. I missed it again. I need to stick a post-it to my face saying 8:00 !
Posted By: illusive Fantasy Re: Daily Meditation - 10pm EST - 02/08/12 04:24 AM
ROTF oh jilly ...sometimes we both are so much alike giggle...and i want to do a head slap...if its meant to be it will be...all in universes times ...when your ready it will happen...dont stress over it ...

obviously what your doing must be more important and has your attention for that reason at that time because its something your suppose to be doing...even if its nothing...sometimes nothing is a profound thing ... smile
Posted By: Kathy A Re: Daily Meditation - 10pm EST - 02/08/12 10:00 PM
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. frown
Posted By: illusive Fantasy Re: Daily Meditation - 10pm EST - 02/08/12 10:28 PM
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... laugh
Posted By: Lisa Shea Re: Daily Meditation - 10pm EST - 02/09/12 03:03 AM
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!
Posted By: Lisa Shea Re: Daily Meditation - 10pm EST - 02/09/12 03:03 AM
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?
Posted By: Lisa Shea Re: Daily Meditation - 10pm EST - 02/09/12 03:05 AM
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 smile 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.
Posted By: illusive Fantasy Re: Daily Meditation - 10pm EST - 02/09/12 04:30 AM
dear Lisa...i remember last year all too well with the snow...forgive me for saying...glad you cant do that giggle...this is nice toooo...instead go out and do a visual as if there were snow...sigh... smile
Posted By: jilly Re: Daily Meditation - 10pm EST - 02/09/12 06:05 AM
I've never ever thought of snow as having an upside. LOL. But the labyrinth idea is a cool thought.
Posted By: Lisa Shea Re: Daily Meditation - 10pm EST - 02/11/12 03:03 AM
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 smile 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.
Posted By: illusive Fantasy Re: Daily Meditation - 10pm EST - 02/11/12 04:01 AM
there are many places that have snow...you dont have to live in new england to have it ...and thank goodness ...it wont be much snow at all...an poof it will be gone in a blink...yipeee smile

Edited
wow...was that snow...giggle barely a dusting even a ant couldnt ski or slide in that... laugh
Posted By: jilly Re: Daily Meditation - 10pm EST - 02/12/12 02:01 AM
It's 7pm here. In one hour it will be 8pm and I can meditate with you guys. Slapping a post it on my face! OK, on my monitor. smile

Two minutes before minimum safe distance.

Okay, doing Downward Dog with some rainsounds starting now!
Posted By: jilly Re: Daily Meditation - 10pm EST - 02/12/12 03:11 AM
okay, that was lovely. It got a little harder to hold the pose at the end, but i did keep reminding myself to relax into it, and listen to the rain sounds.
Posted By: jilly Re: Daily Meditation - 10pm EST - 02/12/12 11:39 PM
i think i will do the same things again tonite it if i can remember to be here at 8pm MST.
Posted By: jilly Re: Daily Meditation - 10pm EST - 02/13/12 02:57 AM
Okay, i am ready to go. Anyone else here?
Posted By: jilly Re: Daily Meditation - 10pm EST - 02/13/12 03:10 AM
Whew. i am all woozy from being inverted. I had to switch up downward dog with other poses to keep a whole ten minutes.
Posted By: Lisa Shea Re: Daily Meditation - 10pm EST - 02/13/12 03:19 AM
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.
Posted By: jilly Re: Daily Meditation - 10pm EST - 02/14/12 03:03 AM
Okay, ten minutes of quiet sitting, while holding a pretty stone, begins now!
Posted By: illusive Fantasy Re: Daily Meditation - 10pm EST - 02/14/12 05:58 PM
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... laugh

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.
Posted By: Lisa Shea Re: Daily Meditation - 10pm EST - 02/15/12 03:06 AM
I'll post the recipe when we are through with that set of testing!

It's meditation time on Valentine's Day - a perfect day to have a loving-kindness meditation!
Posted By: illusive Fantasy Re: Daily Meditation - 10pm EST - 02/15/12 06:44 AM
hey thanks appreciate it laugh
Posted By: Lisa Shea Re: Daily Meditation - 10pm EST - 02/16/12 02:48 AM
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!
Posted By: Lisa Shea Re: Daily Meditation - 10pm EST - 02/16/12 03:01 AM
Okey dokey! Exactly 10pm! And Leela is live and waiting! Hurrah smile

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!
Posted By: jilly Re: Daily Meditation - 10pm EST - 02/16/12 03:04 AM
Okay! I am here and sitting quietly!
Posted By: jilly Re: Daily Meditation - 10pm EST - 02/16/12 03:05 AM
With candles lit and holding my two small stones from the previous two bellaonline getherings.
Posted By: Lisa Shea Re: Daily Meditation - 10pm EST - 02/16/12 03:31 AM
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.
Posted By: Lisa Shea Re: Daily Meditation - 10pm EST - 02/17/12 03:01 AM
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!
Posted By: jilly Re: Daily Meditation - 10pm EST - 02/17/12 07:07 AM
I did mine later in the evening - i was actually taking a nap at 8pm. I know, weird schedule. I had a very emotional day so i needed that nap.
Posted By: Lisa Shea Re: Daily Meditation - 10pm EST - 02/17/12 10:45 AM
Here's the full review of Leela, along with descriptions of each of the meditation sections :

Posted By: Lisa Shea Re: Daily Meditation - 10pm EST - 02/18/12 03:10 AM
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.
Posted By: Lisa Shea Re: Daily Meditation - 10pm EST - 02/21/12 02:56 AM
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.
Posted By: Lisa Shea Re: Daily Meditation - 10pm EST - 02/23/12 03:05 AM
Tuesday I was sound asleep, my sleep schedule is getting unusual even for me smile 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.
Posted By: jilly Re: Daily Meditation - 10pm EST - 02/24/12 02:33 AM
ok it's a half hour til meditation time. I am going to do a quiet sitting with lots of soft blankets around me for ten minutes, when the time comes.
Posted By: Lisa Shea Re: Daily Meditation - 10pm EST - 02/24/12 03:01 AM
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.
Posted By: jilly Re: Daily Meditation - 10pm EST - 02/24/12 03:18 AM
OKay, I was distracted by my reading. Will start meditation now!
Posted By: Lisa Shea Re: Daily Meditation - 10pm EST - 02/26/12 03:05 AM
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 smile

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.
Posted By: jilly Re: Daily Meditation - 10pm EST - 02/29/12 03:36 AM
I will do tonite's meditation now. Sitting down with a smooth stone. This always attracts the cats - me sitting still!
Posted By: Lisa Shea Re: Daily Meditation - 10pm EST - 03/15/12 02:06 AM
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.
Posted By: jilly Re: Daily Meditation - 10pm EST - 03/25/12 10:58 PM
Lisa, have you decided how to ease back on things?
Posted By: Lisa Shea Re: Daily Meditation - 10pm EST - 09/23/12 12:41 AM
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!
Posted By: Lisa Shea Re: Daily Meditation - 10pm EST - 09/23/12 02:03 AM
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!
Posted By: Lisa Shea Re: Daily Meditation - 10pm EST - 09/24/12 02:08 AM
OK running a little late tonight because Bob needed some help, but here I am!

Aiming for 5 minutes again tonight, it will be a challenge with Bob disassembling the living room as I type smile Challenges are good!
Posted By: Lisa Shea Re: Daily Meditation - 10pm EST - 09/24/12 02:21 AM
That was very nice. I am SO glad I am getting back into a daily meditation practice. It does refresh me and give me more energy to continue tackling my tasks.
Posted By: Lisa Shea Re: Daily Meditation - 10pm EST - 09/28/12 02:06 AM
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 smile
Posted By: Lisa Shea Re: Daily Meditation - 10pm EST - 10/09/12 02:11 AM
I know I normally start the meditations at 10pm EST but the mailing is still running so I'm holding off until it finishes. If you're here for the meditation, I'll be starting it soon! Read through a few of the posts to get into the meditative mood smile
Posted By: Lisa Shea Re: Daily Meditation - 10pm EST - 10/09/12 03:12 AM
OK a bit of a delay but it's 11:11 (that magical time I love) and the newsletter is completely sent. So I'm starting my meditation now! Everyone who is around, join in for ten minutes of quiet meditation!
Posted By: Lisa Shea Re: Daily Meditation - 10pm EST - 10/09/12 03:27 AM
Wow that was quite lovely. And now I'm inspired to test out a tangerine bath salt recipe! Deep breathing and relaxation can really help to bring down stress levels.
Posted By: Lisa Shea Re: Daily Meditation - 10pm EST - 10/10/12 02:01 AM
It's 10pm, meditation time! I welcome you all to join in a few minutes of rest and relaxation.
Posted By: Lisa Shea Re: Daily Meditation - 10pm EST - 10/11/12 02:01 AM
10pm is meditation time smile Meditation reduces stress and helps you sleep!

I am aiming for 10 minutes at 10pm tonight smile Join me!
Posted By: Lisa Shea Re: Daily Meditation - 10pm EST - 11/30/12 01:41 AM
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 smile.
Posted By: Lisa Shea Re: Daily Meditation - 10pm EST - 12/14/12 04:03 AM
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 smile. That won't slow down my coding too much if I'm deep into coding. Hopefully that can get me back on track.
Posted By: Lisa Shea Re: Daily Meditation - 10pm EST - 12/27/12 09:00 PM
(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!
Posted By: Lisa Shea Re: Daily Meditation - 10pm EST - 04/19/13 09:00 PM
(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!
Posted By: Lisa Shea Re: Daily Meditation - 10pm EST - 04/19/13 09:00 PM
OK here it is exactly 10pm. I am going to meditate. Ten minutes. I am looking forward to this! Join along if you're online!
Posted By: Lisa Shea Re: Daily Meditation - 10pm EST - 04/19/13 09:00 PM
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.
Posted By: Lisa Shea Re: Daily Meditation - 10pm EST - 04/19/13 09:00 PM
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.
Posted By: Lisa Shea Re: Daily Meditation - 10pm EST - 04/20/13 09:00 PM
Meditation time is coming up in just over ten minutes! Get your environment set, get a glass of water or wine, and prepare for peace!
Posted By: Lisa Shea Re: Daily Meditation - 10pm EST - 04/20/13 09:00 PM
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.
Posted By: Lisa Shea Re: Daily Meditation - 10pm EST - 04/22/13 09:00 PM
Reminder - our ten minutes meditation is coming up in just over ten minutes! Get your space ready - serenity is coming!
Posted By: Lisa Shea Re: Daily Meditation - 10pm EST - 04/22/13 10:00 PM
That was quite soothing! I highly recommend trying it. Even ten minutes can make a difference.
Posted By: Lisa Shea Re: Daily Meditation - 10pm EST - 04/23/13 09:00 PM
It's nearly ten pm EST! Time for the ten minute meditation at 10pm! Prepare your meditation area, for serenity is right around the corner!
Posted By: Lisa Shea Re: Daily Meditation - 10pm EST - 04/23/13 10:00 PM
Just finished my ten minute meditation exactly ten minutes later, without a timer. It's amazing how the brain can do that. Peaceful. I highly recommend wiggling a ten minute meditation into your schedule, it's amazingly restful.
Posted By: Lisa Shea Re: Daily Meditation - 10pm EST - 04/25/13 09:00 PM

Posted By: Lisa Shea Re: Daily Meditation - 10pm EST - 04/27/13 10:00 PM
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.
Posted By: Lisa Shea Re: Daily Meditation - 10pm EST - 04/29/13 09:00 PM
Ten minutes away from the ten minute meditation at 10pm. Join me! It will take my mind off the new poison ivy spots on my legs.
Posted By: Lisa Shea Re: Daily Meditation - 10pm EST - 04/29/13 10:00 PM
That was lovely. Once again I played Enya music while I meditated. I find it soothing. My current trio of songs is Orinoco Flow, Watermark, and Only Time.
Posted By: Lisa Shea Re: Daily Meditation - 10pm EST - 04/30/13 09:00 PM

Posted By: Lisa Shea Re: Daily Meditation - 10pm EST - 05/26/13 10:00 PM
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.
Posted By: Lisa Shea Re: Daily Meditation - 10pm EST - 06/08/13 09:00 PM
Pausing in my tax reconciliations to meditate at 10pm. My brain definitely needs it smile. It's feeling a little fried.

Posted By: Lisa Shea Re: Daily Meditation - 10pm EST - 07/15/13 10:00 PM

A lovely, relaxing meditation. Seagulls and puffins were the feature on this section of Winged Migration. And AC is always nice.

Posted By: Lisa Shea Re: Daily Meditation - 10pm EST - 08/04/13 10:55 PM
Ah, much better than the saltwater track. This one stayed just with one "shot" the whole way through, without switching every two minutes. Plus, it had a gentle current.

I'm just back from a week's cruise to Bermuda. I made a renewed focus to do yoga for an hour every day, and to meditate at the end of that session. The fitness area had an enclosed room just for spinning, with a hard wood floor and a bank of windows along the moonrise side. So each night I went there at 10pm and did an hour long session from 10-11pm, which ended when the fitness center closed. It was quiet, peaceful, and lovely.



I did find by the end of the week that I was noticeably more flexible, so it was a great restart to both practices smile.

The small white sphere in the top right of the window is the moon.
Posted By: Lisa Shea Re: Daily Meditation - 10pm EST - 10/25/13 09:56 PM

10pm meditation time - this past week has been a whirlwind. I'm surrounded by stacks of to-do things. My email is stuffed. An instinct is to plow at it, but I know I need to take these moments to breathe in and focus. It'll allow my energy to be as efficient as possible once I get started on handling this all.
Posted By: Lisa Shea Re: Daily Meditation - 10pm EST - 03/24/14 10:22 PM

Starting up my 10pm meditation. I'm working through the #Forgiveness book's accompanying CD. Today is "I Forgive Myself". #meditate The tracks are only 2-3 min long each so I figure each day I'll listen to the track and then meditate on it.
Posted By: Lisa Shea Re: Daily Meditation - 10pm EST - 05/27/14 12:15 AM
Starting meditation a bit late, but that's ok! Tonight's audio track is "I Forgive My Body". Definitely good for me after this weekend smile
Posted By: Lisa Shea Re: Daily Meditation - 10pm EST - 05/27/14 10:02 PM
Heading into 10pm meditation time! Today's audio track is "I Forgive My Life". Hmmm. This book must be working - this seems a fine topic. I am fairly content with my life and how it's led up to here. Not everything was easy, but I learned and grew along the way.
Posted By: Lisa Shea Re: Daily Meditation - 10pm EST - 05/29/14 09:54 PM
Joyfully working on book 3 of my Sutton Mass series - tackling racial issues. I want to do my part raising these topics. May has been great in many ways for writing this, between the Clippers issues and the sadness of Maya Angelou passing away. Will meditate on equality.

Somehow it's already time for my 10pm #meditation - which probably means that I really need to meditate, to slow down and focus smile.
Posted By: Lisa Shea Re: Daily Meditation - 10pm EST - 06/03/14 10:35 PM
I'm still listening my way through the CD that came with my Iyanla Vanzant's Forgiveness book. I liked the book a lot - the CD, not so much. There's an odd difference in two of the audio forgiveness meditations. The "Mother" track was about releasing negative feelings - a good aim. Today's "Father" track was more along the lines of, "it doesn't matter if he was a jerk and never around. God was there doing his job. So don't worry about your actual Dad. Just believe in God instead." I found that really strange. Surely we should want to forgive both parents equally?
Posted By: Lisa Shea Re: Daily Meditation - 10pm EST - 06/04/14 09:53 PM
On Chapter 9 of a final review of my sci-fi romance novel. Time for a meditation break. Will meditate on how rich life can be. I have a glass of sangria on one side, Julie on my other side, and I love writing. Serene and joyous. Writing and Meditation are the perfect pairing.

Heading into 10pm meditation time. Yet another excuse not to work on rebranding my medieval covers. I'm resisting that change immensely. I know I have to change the covers, as much as I adore (adore adore) the existing ones. I must meditate on change. It is not good to cling. I must accept.

Heading into 10pm meditation - finishing up polishing on my dystopian novella. Yes, another genre. I've always wanted to write this story. In the past when I had a scifi story demanding to be told I tried turning it into a medieval novel to stay with that existing genre series. It didn't work - my brain still wanted me to write the scifi version. So now I just let the stories out the way they want to be and don't worry about what genre the story is in.
Posted By: Lisa Shea Re: Daily Meditation - 10pm EST - 08/20/14 10:00 PM

Heading into 10pm meditation time. Finalizing the first novella in my new 1800s series set in rural Tennessee with a black / Indian female main character. Based on an ancestor of mine. It's coming out fairly rough, given what I know of her life. Trying to decide if I should tone it down to keep it "clean" or to just alert people in the description that it's a bit rougher than what I usually write. I want to be authentic to what she went through.

Evening meditation time. This is one of my photos from walking the Blackstone Canal at River Bend in Uxbridge on Sunday. The canal was mirror-smooth. With the above world getting dark at sunset, the water created just amazing reflections. It was almost spooky, as if the "world we walked" was in shadows and looking down one was seeing the upside-down real world. #namaste

Posted By: Lisa Shea Re: Daily Meditation - 10pm EST - 09/17/16 10:47 PM
Evening meditation time. Today I spent a lovely day at an art festival. On one hand I could have been disappointed. I raced to get there early (for me) by 10am to get my & Bob's photos submitted; it turns out they had to be in by 9am. So that was disappointing. But a minor hurdle and at least we got to be hung and seen with the rest. And on the great up-side, my good friend Bob E won both first AND second prize for his photography!! And not only that, but I'm the "ghost" in that 1st place image - we did that at Shaw Farm as a long-exposure project. #namaste

Evening meditation time. It's a day of blessings. I had a lovely dinner with my son, I finally traded in my 2004 Subaru for a more reliable 2007 Toyota Fit, and poor sick Julie the cat is eating better. She goes in for an ultrasound in the morning. I hope they figure out what's wrong with her. #Namaste

Posted By: Lisa Shea Re: Daily Meditation - 10pm EST - 10/16/16 10:08 PM
Evening meditation time. JulieTheCat is feeling much better! I had intended to do my taxes on the back porch while she slept, but instead she wanted me to take her for an hour-plus 'wander' in the yard - she loved it! She was sad when we had to go in. I'm so grateful she's feeling better. #Namaste

Posted By: Lisa Shea Re: Daily Meditation - 10pm EST - 10/17/16 10:21 PM

Evening meditation time. I had a wonderfully enriching day. My writing group met for the afternoon and I ran a workshop for my art group this evening on monoprints. Here is one in a series I created celebrating the diversity of our world. It's an 8-inch round. If someone would like it for $5 plus shipping I'll donate that money to Doctors Without Borders (charity rating of "A") #Namaste

Posted By: Lisa Shea Re: Daily Meditation - 10pm EST - 10/21/16 11:03 PM

Posted By: Lisa Shea Re: Daily Meditation - 10pm EST - 10/22/16 10:12 PM

Posted By: Lisa Shea Re: Daily Meditation - 10pm EST - 10/26/16 10:08 PM
Evening meditation time. Every day is precious. Tell your loved ones how much they mean to you. Make time for a hug. I lit a fire in the fireplace, put Juliet's carrier next to it (it's where she wants to be all the time now), and will curl up with her for a while. #Namaste

Posted By: Lisa Shea Re: Daily Meditation - 10pm EST - 10/28/16 10:27 PM

Evening meditation time. I got a lot done today. I picked up art from one show for me and 2 other people, delivered it to another show, and stopped by a third shop to reorganize the art I had hanging there. Then I got home and did a bunch of much-needed cleaning. I finalized four different authors' books for them and then created a compilation book for my writing group. I got a bunch of excess stuff listed on ebay/craigslist/etc. I even paused to treasure time with JulieCat who managed to wriggle out into the afternoon when I was taking some of those ebay photos. Every moment has its meaning and is worthy of treasuring. #Namaste

Posted By: Lisa Shea Re: Daily Meditation - 10pm EST - 11/10/16 12:12 AM
Evening meditation time. I spent time with JulieCat, published two of my own books (one fiction, one non-fiction), and helped three friends with theirs. I've made great progress so far and there's still plenty of day left. #Namaste

Posted By: Lisa Shea Re: Daily Meditation - 10pm EST - 12/06/16 11:02 PM
Evening meditation time. I finally created new bank accounts - my old bank was deluging me with fees. I had to overcome that inertia. Yes, it'll be work to change all the auto-pays and such, but it'll be worth it. #Namaste

Posted By: Lisa Shea Re: Daily Meditation - 10pm EST - 12/07/16 11:42 PM
Evening meditation time. Today I am enormously grateful for all the self-publishing and writing opportunities available. Think of how much the world has changed in such a short time. The opportunity for voices to be heard who were previously silenced. #Namaste

Posted By: Lisa Shea Re: Daily Meditation - 10pm EST - 12/14/16 11:33 PM
Evening meditation time. I think the Sutton compilation is nearly in final shape and ready to publish. Also, I set aside time to work on my email, as I am each day, and I finally have my inbox under 3,000 messages! Hurrah! It shows if you keep chipping away at a task it gets done. #namaste

Posted By: Lisa Shea Re: Daily Meditation - 10pm EST - 12/24/16 11:02 PM
Evening meditation time. I'm writing a short story about how climate change impacts the poor in Indonesia. It's often the poor who suffer for the actions of the wealthier. It reminds us to treasure what we have and look out for those who have far less. Happy Christmas Eve. #Namaste

Posted By: Lisa Shea Re: Daily Meditation - 10pm EST - 12/25/16 11:09 PM

Evening meditation time. Today I submitted 4 SciFi & 1 Horror Short Story to magazines. It's a new test I'm doing to see how magazine subs stack up against simply self-publishing them as ebooks. Hopefully one will get chosen so I can complete the test! Treasure each day - it holds boundless opportunities. #Namaste

Evening meditation time. I'm just so proud - my son is publishing his first book. It's an in-depth look at our world's cultures. 212 pgs. And quite nicely done, if I say so myself! smile #namaste

Posted By: Lisa Shea Re: Daily Meditation - 10pm EST - 01/09/17 11:12 PM
Evening meditation time. Meditation in whatever form you choose helps you quiet the brain-chatter that bounces in your mind. You can focus on a prayer. A phrase. An object. The world. Love. Whatever path you choose, it is all meditation, and it is all about releasing those preoccupations that plague many of us and distract us from our path. #namaste

Posted By: Lisa Shea Re: Daily Meditation - 10pm EST - 01/10/17 06:07 PM
Yoga. Stretching. Just having Fun. Whatever you call it, you should do it every day. Your body counts on it to stay healthy. Have you stretched today? What kind of stretching do you do? Even five minutes is important! #Namaste

Evening meditation time. So many innocent people go to bed hungry each night. I am grateful I have food to eat. I also stay aware that I need to strive to help those without. Donating money to food banks and speaking out about legislation are two ways to begin. Any other ideas? #namaste

Posted By: Lisa Shea Re: Daily Meditation - 10pm EST - 01/15/17 11:07 PM

Evening meditation time. I'm horrified - 50% of US states let girls age 12 be forced into marriage by their parents. That's younger than puberty. And it IS HAPPENING. We need to all contact our reps.

Posted By: Lisa Shea Re: Daily Meditation - 10pm EST - 02/17/17 11:38 PM
Evening meditation time. Racism and violence are all around us. It's part of why I donate so much of my book profits to support women's shelters. Tonight I'm meditating on whether these scenes should be in my "entertainment". I know racism and violence exist. I invest my own time and money to help break the cycle. Next, I do feel it's important in general to watch award-winning movies to stay in tune with cultural references. Still, if something upsets me, surely there's a balance. I don't need to watch a movie to know racism and violence happen. I know already. And if the other option is to reduce my empathy level, I'm not sure I like that either ... #Namaste

Posted By: Lisa Shea Re: Daily Meditation - 10pm EST - 02/19/17 11:20 PM
Evening meditation time. Hiding from problems rarely works. Even if it's rough, it's best to view as clearly as you can where you are now. This will let you best find a path to where you want to be. #namaste

Posted By: Lisa Shea Re: Daily Meditation - 10pm EST - 02/20/17 10:42 PM
Evening meditation time. I'm back from my networking dinner and ready to crank on work. Most of Mused is now voted on. Now it is all about focusing on reading the poetry - and we have quite a lot! It's inspiring how many talented artists trust us with their creations smile. #Namaste

Posted By: Lisa Shea Re: Daily Meditation - 10pm EST - 02/21/17 11:05 PM
Evening meditation time. I think I am just heading to sleep. I'm too exhausted to focus right now. I wouldn't want to mis-send a Mused letter by accident to the wrong person - better to wait! Tomorrow will be a fresh day! #Namaste

Posted By: Lisa Shea Re: Daily Meditation - 10pm EST - 02/22/17 11:11 PM

Evening meditation time. I'm nearly done with book 1 in my fairy-tale Cinderella series. I've been rewriting this one for nearly two years now and am finally at a point where I'm reasonably happy with it. Originally I was following along the traditional story-line, but I just couldn't embrace it. My heroine had to become more feisty - to not just wait passively for her prince to save her. #Namaste

BTW this castle is in Germany - my Mom and I visited it on a wonderful trip there. It's not my photo, though, this is a stock image I have rights to smile.

Posted By: Lisa Shea Re: Daily Meditation - 10pm EST - 02/27/17 12:33 AM
Evening meditation time. I've just sent my new Cinderella book 1 out to my beta-readers. If you're interested in seeing a copy, let me know. It took me quite a while (nearly two years) to craft a personality for Cinderella that I liked. I just wasn't keen on her traditional passive way of being. I'm open to polishing ideas on the cover and especially on the subtitle and series name. Those are definitely works in progress smile. #Namaste

Posted By: Lisa Shea Re: Daily Meditation - 10pm EST - 02/27/17 11:07 PM
Evening meditation time. Every day is precious and, once gone, it is forever behind us. Treasure each day and what it offers. For example, today I had a long to-do list ... and my son asked to come over for the evening. I put everything else aside and spent the evening with him. The rest will get done when it can. Treasure each opportunity. #Namaste

Posted By: Lisa Shea Re: Daily Meditation - 10pm EST - 02/28/17 11:08 PM
Evening meditation time. It's been a very busy day! I've both been finalizing an art-and-poetry project and creating audiobook versions of my books. Every day is precious - make the best of each one! #namaste

Evening meditation time. I'm cranking hard on both art and writing projects. The Art-Poetry show is now live. The Mused Literary Review is done proofing. Dogwood Dilemmas is live.

Evening meditation time. Something I'm pondering. Does this image disturb you? Does it concern you as being a sacrilege? I think someone thought it was a cute image, but I look at this and my mind is screaming: Save the book! smile #namaste

Evening meditation time. A car just hit a pole two houses down from me. The impact shook the house - I grabbed my coat and went racing out. Thank God he's OK. He had a solid SUV which crumpled around him and an airbag. It's a powerful reminder to treasure every day. Every day is precious. #namatse

Evening meditation time, a bit late but that's ok. Today was quite busy and rewarding - my writing group at noon and then an awesome BVAA meeting where we all did batik painting in the evening. And when I got home, I discovered I'd just received the freshly scanned film negative image from Old School Photo Lab - they are fast! Now to print and frame it! I also spent more time fixing my mail server issues so mail is steady going forward. #Namaste

Evening meditation time. Today I focused on finalizing the re-editing & reloading of my entire SciFi series. The books even got updated covers. It's been a multi-day effort but definitely worth it, to have my best possible voice out there. I grow every year with my writing and I like to routinely take a pass at my older books to polish them up. They represent me to the world just as much as my current ones do. Take steps to improve daily! #namaste

Posted By: Lisa Shea Re: Daily Meditation - 10pm EST - 04/08/17 11:14 PM
Evening meditation time. I'm still in shock that another "Lisa Shea" author just released her Cinderella book weeks before my own. The exact same author name. The exact same fairy tale princess. The exact same 30 day period. I have over 300 books out, so I'm not hard to find to see I've been working on this area. I've been discussing my book for probably over a year.

I have now published mine, even though I wasn't quite ready to, and will publish book 2 (Snow White) shortly.

A key reason this upsets me is that I worked on my Cinderella series for all this time so it would *counteract* the fairy tale message girls are given. And now there's a book out which looks to all my readers as if I *did* write a fairy tale version. There's no way for a reader to look at that book and know it is NOT me. And on Amazon if you click on the "Lisa Shea" name it shows my other books.

Just very upsetting. Time for deep breathing and inward focus. #namaste

Posted By: Lisa Shea Re: Daily Meditation - 10pm EST - 04/09/17 10:37 PM
Evening meditation time. What a wild day. I began with near-zero sleep due to an out-of-the-blue ramped-up publishing requirement. I raced to an art/author festival and barely got there on time. While I was unpacking the car, I "lost" my car keys (put them on the car roof) and it took me an HOUR of searching before someone helpfully pointed them out to me smile. And I ended up fiercely sunburned. Still, I met tons of cool people at the festival, sold some origami earrings, sold some books, got tons of compliments on my art (and on Bob's) and am overall content with the result. I'll just live the next few days swathed in aloe smile. #namaste

Evening meditation time. We are all in this together. I am sometimes baffled how people could believe anything else. How in the world can people look down on others simply for having been born somewhere else or of a different skin color or gender or whatever. How can that really matter? "We shouldn't care about them because of xxx"?? #namaste

Evening meditation time. Meditation doesn't have to be about sitting still. Walking meditations can be done in mazes, forest paths, or simply around a room. I had a lovely afternoon walk today through a quiet wood. You can walk through an apartment and focus on heel-to-toe, heel-to-toe. Give it a try! #namaste

Evening meditation time. I'm editing a mind-bogglingly dense 270,000 word tome on JFK / Nixon for a friend. It's a fascinating period in our recent history. If we think current politics are rough, just look back a few years at what was going on then. #namaste

What have you guys been up to recently? I'm hoping to be done with this by tomorrow to get back to finishing off the Destiny series.

Evening meditation time. Every day I strive to challenge myself & think outside the box. It helps the brain stay engaged. For example, when people used to ask what I wrote, I would say "anything but horror". And then I thought to myself, why define myself by a negative? I should just give it a try, and if that's not a good fit for me, that's fine. But I should at least try. It's the trying new things that helps the brain build new connections. #namaste

Part of what's amazing is I used to use both FilmBaby and Lulu - both have completely **shut down** their DVD sales. It's head-spinning how quickly our world changes. I used to have my origami DVDs with FilmBaby. Guess they're gone now! smile

Evening meditation time. Kids often dream about being royalty, and little girls are almost indoctrinated that they should be princesses. That lifestyle - especially for girls - has many down sides. In Japan, if a princess doesn't marry a "proper mate" they're kicked out of the family. It's time for us to let these families simply be people. To choose what they do and who they love. I am very happy I was born a "commoner" without those restrictions. #namaste

Evening meditation time. We can take so many things for granted in life. This is a 1908 water pipe from Worcester MA which was finally replaced in 1984. Imagine drinking water in that area? Think of the Flint people still living that nightmare. And all the many others who have no access to clean drinking water. Take a moment to give thanks for the blessings you do have. #namaste

Evening meditation time. I'm quite grateful my dear boyfriend drove me the 1 hr each way to the meeting for my writing group; I have an injured toe and couldn't have made it otherwise. I even had time for a nap before my art group meeting in the evening. I'm so thankful I have these creative support systems in my life. They inspire me. #namaste What are you grateful for today?

Evening meditation time. I had a lovely day. This morning I taught a seminar on marketing books. One of the attendees (who attended my previous two sessions too, on writing and publishing) gave me this lovely scarf in thanks!! I then spent the day writing. Now I'm making hearts out of my old-version medieval romance book pages - books I would no longer sell / give away because I've changed the storyline since then. I'm loving the hearts!! smile. They'll make great table decor for my upcoming book club meeting! #Namaste

Evening meditation time. I'm just back from an amazing Alaska cruise on the Oceania Regatta. It was full of opportunities for mindfulness. This young bear couldn't yet fish for himself, so his mom caught him one and "opened it up" for him. We can all use help at times. #namaste

Evening meditation time. There are some people you just know, intuitively, you can trust in. Bob took us an hour by boat plus 30 min on foot deep into bear territory. He balanced the calmness in his soul and a rifle on his shoulder. He kept us safe so we could experience the beauty of the wilderness. I appreciate that immensely. Imagine what our world could be if everyone had that same combination of mindfulness and readiness. #namaste

Me: What is this?
Bob: That's the New York Times "T".
Me: That's ridiculous. How can you recognize a T? It could be anything.

Me: *opens the box*

Yup, it was the New York Times "T". He gets an "A" in Mindful Awareness.

Evening meditation time. Self-driving trucks are now driving (with supervision) from Texas to Florida without any issues. We need to prepare for this massive loss of jobs. Even if they keep humans in the cabs for a few years, just the enormous drop in accidents will have a ripple effect to impact all the jobs currently kept busy by those accidents. Large trucks are involved in about 500,000 a year. Most accidents are currently caused by absent-minded drivers.
