Day 1 of 40: 10 minute meditation challenge

While I have done guided meditation. I have never joined a live group meditation. Conducted by a friend & started today 11-11-24. Circles always have a special after my Service Space Experience. Those were for 1 and half h. 10 minute I was not sure. 

So I joined without any expectation but with an open mind.

It was a coincidence that I had a nice bath and hit my desk at 6pm and saw the prompt. It was like the universe has a connived to join. An arty way of saying by chance….

The experience was nice, one could feel the energy or that feeling of being together - just a few words in chat or few spoken or a smile sometimes makes you feel connected. 

I started my own blank slate project where I said I will post daily ‘on a word or phrase’ till my birthday so connecting the both here’s some reflection on ‘meditation’

I have been practicing meditation for maybe 10 years now or maybe more. The first time I did was as part of AOL course in 2001. (Art of Living). No, unlike many people say ‘it has touched them and changed them’ or they got ‘enlightenment’ - for me no such thing happened.

It’s a habit I have build over the year to calm me down or focus on something. It’s a blank space / moment a commune between me and me. I like the feeling of oneness or alignment I have between my spirit n me. I get stressed over small things and deep breathing and meditation helps me back to me to regain my control - anytime anywhere.

Thanks to all of us who joined today and may we meet again. 🙏🏻🌻
