Challenge #5

-Meditate Everyday for a Week-
This week’s challenge is to meditate every day for a week. “How’s meditating different than praying?” says Dan. Well, in my mind, meditating is just trying to sit very quietly, pushing thoughts away, and breathing steadily. I have a feeling this is going to be nearly impossible (the pushing thoughts away part), but I think it will be interesting to see what happens. I am going to require myself to meditate for at least 10 minutes each day, but I am going to try to end my week with two 20 minute sessions (this amount of doing nothing strikes fear into my list-making heart). I heard that it is equally acceptable to sit up cross-legged or lay down (though I’m afraid if I lay down I will fall asleep!). I also found a free iPhone app that is called a meditation timer and it signals when to begin and end with a gong! How awesome is that? Now, say it with me, “There’s an app for that!” Ha.
Who’s with me?!
