This entry is not going to discuss the "experts" at meditation. Instead, in it I will attempt to make even the person who most recently decided to meditate (you know, they decided this morning) feel comfortable about the process; and also to KNOW that they ARE meditating.
As a seasoned hippie I spent many hours of my life trying to sit in the Lotus position with the correct fingertips touching while I gently and softly chanted the prescribed mantra. I know this method works for many. However, I had children to raise, a garden to tend to, mouths to feed, and not a lot of spare time left over.
As if those excuses weren't enough my legs got cramped & stuck which made me cranky & irritable and also made me utter words under my breath that did not even come close to the prescribed mantra, which really nullified the purpose of the peaceful act of meditation after all. Can anyone relate to this?
My place to share things that I don't believe that I would share with so many people I don't know. Once people recognize who I really am, depending on what I have said I probably will not so many things that I don't believe that I would share anymore!!!!
