I actually had my best 10 minute meditation session ever. I figured out a really comfortable floor pillow arrangement and posture. After a few more successes I’ll post it.
Meditation tip: focusing on your breath doesn’t mean you should breathe as hard as possible. I knew this already but I wasn’t practicing it. This time I tried to breathe as softly and evenly as possible and it was actually easier to focus on the moment to moment sensation of breathing. My guess is that it’s like the stage trick of speaking quietly so the audience really listens.
Of course, since it was going so well my mind started narrating all over the place: “This is totally going in my blog! Damn! That I thought about blogging while meditating is totally going in my blog… DAMMIT!!!
