How many of you have tried to quiet your mind for meditation, when sure enough the gardener starts up the lawn mower, and ruins your beautiful silence? Well here is a mediation that is very easy to do anywhere. Morning is a great time for this one. For those of us in recovery, we all managed to find time to take a drink or get high in the morning…no matter how busy we were. So taking five minutes to do this, should be easy enough. Find a comfortable position to sit in. Sit there for a few seconds, and make sure it really is comfy. Now is the time to literally get “out” of your head. Concentrate on any noise you can hear. It may be a bird (this is why I say the morning is good for this one), a garbage truck, a car passing by, the hum of your refrigerator. It’s a cool twist for people who find noise a distraction when attempting to meditate. By doing this, you are also sending your energy outwards, so that when you open your eyes, believe or not, you have collected some great energy from the space around you. If you have a thought that is distracting, let a noise replace it. You’ll find the room gets noisy, while your head gets quiet. I’d love to hear how this works for any of you. You can reply hear or contact me at www.4missingpeace.com . Have a nice trip, and good week.
Warmly, Laura
