whew.... what a weekend and monday! anyway... it's been longer than normal for me to journal my meditation and asana experience so here it goes! i continue to meditate twice daily and practice asanas, however i did miss last night and one night last week. on both occasions i had fallen asleep on the couch and when i awoke i went on to bed. otherwise, i continue regularly and generally look forward to this time. i began using a new mantra (thank you K) and have enjoyed that... i've also been meditating more outside, which i absolutely love! mostly doing so during the day but have done so at night and that was really cool!
my husband is expressing interest in beginning to meditate as well. he also sees the benefits this has had for me, which ofcourse benefits him and our family. though i've had challenges i can see where this practice has enabled me to tread the water as opposed to completely letting myself be taken under by the circumstance/emotion, and so can he... that's what i call progress;-)
my prayer is that i can continue to rest in this new place as i begin to transition to another part of my journey (very possibly starting a new job in the next few weeks). i know that there will be an adjustment period but i am committed to being compassionate with myself and others while relying on God for all. prayer, devotion, sacred texts, and ofcourse, meditations and asanas will all help to remind me of this reliance.
i've also had a wonderful experience of asking for more help from others and being able to better receive this help. that has been very hard in the past for me... i'm so appreciative of my family and friends and i just can't thank them enough. the support has been tremendous! it also allows me to continue the giving, and the receiving, with others... pretty cool! our network of love is surely underway!
