meditation

I love meditation and maybe others will too?

As a teenager, I can sometimes be frantic,
unfocused, stressed and anxious.
Luckily, I was introduced to meditation.
I love meditation and he way it makes me feel - solid.

So, how does it work?
First I set a 15 minute timer and get
prepared to look a little foolish.
I sit somewhere comfortable, cross-legged.
I close my eyes and focus on a point
in the center of my forehead
between my eyes, relax my mind,
and think only of the sound of OM.
When your mind wanders, just go back to OM.
Existing in that territory of nothing
there is a silence that must be listened to.
You end up giving sharp attention to nothing.
It is simple, compelling and satisfying.
When you’re done, a new stillness will remain in your mind.

This definitely sounds very simple, I think I've done Meditationo in my psychology class in 12th grade and I ended up falling asleep for a short duration, probably not supposed to do that.

That is last time I remember doing it, maybe I should look into trying it again.

Thank you for sharing! :-)

You can't do it if you're sleepy =]

I agree with you completely yoga and meditation are some of the most healthy habits one could have:) I wish I was introduced to them when I was younger

I love meditation and everyone should try it at least once. And you are right sometimes, I mean, a lot of times we are anxious, then only meditation helps keeping our minds calm.

I’ve been slack about it over the summer but I’m trying to get into good habits for the school year.
Thanks for the comment!
