Hi everyone,

I used to be much better at "meditating" but I felt I had lost it recently. I would get up and be more scattered all day. And if I tried to meditate, at best I could do a few minutes. I was just too scattered and yet it wasn't a good feeling.

This morning I meditated within the first half hour. I have some stuff I do in the morning like drink some water and open the blinds. But then I meditated. And I guess because my mind was still "fresh" I had a great meditation and actually didn't WANT to get up. (Most of my meditations lately have been like "...Can I go now?")

After that I did a little of my morning activity, like 30-45 minutes, and tried to meditate again. Sure enough, it worked! I could easily enter my meditative state and again, had such a great meditative state going that instead of "...Can I go now?", it was more like, "Aw, do I have to go now? "

So I think unless today was just a lucky day, I want to try keeping that up. And I guess meditating between activities when possible. As long as I don't go too long without returning to meditation, it will probably be easy to enter a meditative state at will. Maybe it only got difficult for me to meditate because I got so far from "center".

Anyway it was such a good feeling to be back in touch with my own feeling of "meditation" that I wanted to make a post about it.

EDIT - I put "meditation" in quotes because I think it can differ from person to person what is meant by that
