“As much as I definitely enjoy solitude, I wouldn’t mind spending a little time with you”

My practice today: Day 11 of The 28 Day Meditation Challenge

Settling then floating

Settling then floating

Breathing then thinking

Thinking then breathing

Noticing, naming, describing

Breath

The cats scampering around me, running fast down the hall ending in a pounce and a groan each time. They aren’t happy about me sitting here, ignoring them. They want more from me and I want more from my breath.

The experience of wanting more is often the undertone of my days.

Today my thoughts were slower than other days. I worked at not wanting more, from my body or mind.

I allow myself too feel how many times I begin to suck my belly in causing me to float off the pillow. When I allow my belly to release without the automatic mind vomit that “my belly” creates, I feel how my organs have room to settle and my lower body grounds, the lightness of my upper body happens naturally. It isn’t light as a feather, but it doesn’t need to cut itself up.
