The week of February 3rd was the beginning of Sharon Salzberg's 28 day meditation program using her New York Times best selling book Real Happiness: The Power of Meditation, A 28 Day Program.
Sharon and many folks, including me, have joined on and are blogging along with the program. Find the conversation here: http://www.sharonsalzberg.com/realhappiness/blog I hope many of you will do this with us. I know that she would love to hear from you about your experiences and so would I.
Following are my notes from last week about concentration. I completed the meditations but my notes are late!
I had trouble with certain thoughts that were begging to be written down. So I gave in and wrote a few notes to myself about actions that I needed to take. That helped me settle a bit.
As I was with the breath, I started to experience the space between the breaths as moments of stillness. Those moments became a portal to a yet deeper stillness, even as my breath was rising and falling. Just rode the wave and enjoyed the stillness until the end of the session.
Has anyone else had this experience?
