Dedication to Meditation - days 16-24
Jun 24th, 2008 by katesaltfleet
I have kept up with the morning meditations all week, getting up that bit earlier has become incorporated into my morning routine which helps. I do seem to have a lot a mental clutter at the moment though. Sometimes a great idea or realisation comes to me during the sessions, and it’s hard to let it go and return to nothingness. It’s normal to have thoughts, but the point of meditation is to quiet the mind and not get caught up in the drama. Just letting go is simple but not always easy. One thing that I find helps when I catch myself starting to get involved with my thoughts is turning my attention back to my breathing or my posture. This week has been quite hard going on that side of things, there just seems to be so much going on.
Meditation sessions are something I look forward to now. At first I found myself getting kind of bored towards the end, but now the time goes really quickly and I sometimes think that I could do with longer. I seem to have a barrier of psychic gunge that it takes me a few minutes to get through before I start to experience anything that I could really class as meditation. By the time my 20 minutes is up, it’s disappointing as I feel as if it’s over before I’ve got off the starting blocks. I’m not sure if maybe I should extend the time or just keep going as I am. This could be something to review once the 30 days are up.
I guess this is all part of the process. After all, it’s called meditation practice, not meditation perfect 
I’m considering joining the World Wealth Society, a group started by thought leader, James Arthur Ray (I’m a big fan) and wanted to see if anyone had any tips or info about going carbon neutral as a business owner. One of the requirements of the society is, as a business owner, to take your company carbon neutral and to set up an environmental policy. I’m totally onboard, but frankly, I’m a little intimidated and would love to hear from some other business owners who have done this and what the costs and time commitments are to make this happen. James talks about why we need to do this in his book, Harmonic Wealth (check out the Relationship chapter – as in relationship with the world! – on page 133), but I’d love some more specifics. If you are interested, check out his website: http://www.jamesray.com or http://www.harmonicwealth.com.
Thanks!
