Once the meditation habit is broken, though, it’s not always easy to dive back into the water; better start with a wading pool.
This morning, I tried the deep waters first. Sitting comfortably and relaxed, eyes closed, breathing deeply, I decided to take out the trash. What?
Back in from the dumpster, it seemed like a good idea to set the mood by reading about meditation. Rick Cockrum at Shards of Consciousness, is a good one for spiritual soothing. It was an “ask and ye shall receive” moment. Parts One and Two of Concentrative Meditation.
Halfway through Part One, my mind wandered to the dishes in the sink, so the article had to wait while I did them. Funny thing is, in Part Two, Rick mentioned that. while learning to meditate (and, apparently re-learning to meditate), we can become easily distracted. He even said, “Washing the dishes can become very important to you”. At least my lack of focus was in the normal range.
My point is that distractions also come during meditation, but they’ll eventually be mastered by a stiller mind getting in touch with deep happiness and calm.
"Concentrative meditation is an excellent tool to use in personal growth and development. Though it is designed for, and most useful in spiritual growth, it is a powerful tool in restructuring your world view both by instilling more positive beliefs and attitude than you currently hold, and by bringing to the surface the negative, limiting beliefs on which you currently base your life." ~~Rick Cockrum

Here I am, days later, finally seeing this post.
It amazes me how the most routine things become an urgent necessity. The monkey mind says "Look at me! Look at me!" and we just wander off with him/her. I've had way too much experience with the same thing. But eventually the thoughts do give up and go watch TV if you tell them you'll play with them later.
Enjoy your Thanksgiving, Carolyn!
Rick,
You saw the post when you were meant to see it.
Great tip. "I'll play with you later". Yeah, they'll probably listen to that.

Hey guys,
I'm seeking help for the children of Haiti.
I'm at this site for a non-profit haiti organization that spends their time to
building an oppurunity for the children in haiti. If anyone here wants to give money then this is the site:

Yes, they're legitimate.
