week 12

Even though our class may be ending, doesn't mean that I am going to have to end my meditation. I really enjoy my meditation, and I acually try to get to it more often, but it seems that Sunday evenings are the only times I am acually able to get time to myself and meditate. This has been a stressful week just after the death of my Granny, and my mother is having a hard time right now becasue she went to visit her everyday, so she is having a hard time filling that void. I acually took a long hot bath with candles burning, as I lied in the bath with my eyes closed letting my body just relax for a good half an hour. I felt so relaxed and releived of the stress of the week, that I end up going to bed so early, because I feel relaxed that my body just wants to go to bed, and let me tell you, it is always the best sleep I get in the week after my meditations. I have to try and make it a point to at least take 10 minutes or little longer at night, to meditate, so I can get a better sleep during the week.

week 11

I have to say that this week was not a good week at all. My Granny had been sick, and on Thursday evening she had passed away peacefully. That night when I came home after being with my family at the nursing home where Granny passed away, I thought it would be a great time for some meditation. In my meditation this time, I went over the many years that I had known my Granny and how many funny things she had done to make us laugh. The meditation really helped with the sorrow I was feeling for the loss of my Granny.

Week 10

I have to say this has not been another very good week, don't know what I had, but this was the second week I had been sick, I believe it has to have been some kind of flu that just didn't want to move on. Being sick really can kick some but, and I did have to say that meditation does feel good for a little while, just being able to close myself in my bedroom and turn on some soft music, and this time I would just lie still and let the music just flow thru my body. I wish it would have taken my upset stomach away for good, but at least it would help a little bit while lying still thru my meditation.
I am writing this Sunday evening, and I have to say that I think I am finally starting to feel a little better, I would like to hope that thru meditation it helped a little bit with having such rolling stomach all day long.

Week 9

This has not been a great week for myself. I had been sick all week with the flu, bad headaches and sore body muscles. I acually started feeling better later this Monday during the day, that my body doestn acually ache anymore. I have to say that I have tried to Meditate on Thursday night when it seemed to be getting than it had been since Monday. I have to say it did'nt really matter what I did, I wasn't going to feel any better. I have to say that by meditating though, my headache did seem to start feeling a little better during my meditation, but I cant meditate 24/7. It seemed that I slacked on my homework this week, which I really had no choice, with looking at the computer, and trying to take notes it had just made my headache worse yet. I did however finish my notes on Sunday, but I have to admit that I did a little meditating for about an hour prior to finishing my notes. I have to say that it did work for a little while, just wish it would have worked for the rest of the day.

Week 8

This has been one crazy week with work and school. I wish I had more time in a day or week to acually do something I would like to do without having to do it. I need to find more time for myself, to relax and enjoy the moment for at least one hour a day, which is impossible. I was unable to get to my friend Marcy's house this week. This week went by so fast, and my work was more than usual in a week with teaching children how to drive. On Sunday, I had such a temendous migrain headach, I was unable to do anything, but lie in a dark room, with complete silence. While I was lying in bed close to dying, as it felt like, I put on some soothing music, and really tried to block everything out of my mind with meditation. I believe that it must have worked in a way, because I could acually relax my body enough to fall in a deep sleep to help my migrain go away. Sincy I meditated later in the evening, I cant really say if it really helped in any way, but I can say I woke up this morning and it was gone.

Week 7

I do believe when this class ends, I will continue with my meditation. I do wish that I had more time in a week to get over to Marcy's house and really get to understand everything there is to know with her meditation. I was able to get over to her house later on Sunday evening and again I was so relaxed from such a busy week, that when I came home I fell asleep on the couch again, lol. My husband laughs at me and wonders what Marcy does to me in the hour that I am by her house. My husband is acually so nosey, and he sees how relaxed I am when I come home, that he is acually going to come with me the next time to acually see how this meditation can make me fall asleep the minute I come home and sit down. This will be interesting. Will be letting you know next week if my husband Bill acually makes it.

week 6

I really wish that I would have more time in a week to acually meditate more often. I was however to get two days this week that I was able to meditate. Wednesday I meditated in my own home, by just putting on some soft music and lighting candles. I still havent been feeling the greatest and have been having headaches from this damp weather we have been having. So being able to relax and letting my body relax with meditation acually felt good and acually did help my headaches, I was really surprised. I also met with my friend Marcy on Saturday which then we listen to the music she has for meditation and we also do the body movements along with the music that she has taught me to let my body go numb and just let my body flow with the music. I have to say after I am done meditating with Marcy, I acually have to come home and take a nap because it relaxes me so much that I can't wait to take a nap. My husband laughs at me for that reason. Really glad to have taken this class, otherwise I would have never thought of getting into this meditation.

week 5

I'm sorry I wasn't able to post a week 4, since I had been sick with the flu. So week 5, I acually made up for week for. I had put on some soft music of my own, of course it wasnt the same as my friends Marcy's music we listen to, but I figured it would do the job. So on Wednesday this week, I had put on some soft music, sat on the floor, closed my eyes and let myself relax. It really did feel good after not feeling very well, to just relax and let my mind go blank. It was really funny because the four dogs that I have all layed around me and napped as I meditated to the soft music, I had turned the lights out and lit a candle with the music playing softly. On Saturday afternoon I had went back to Marcy's house and we meditated together again. She had showed me how to move the rest of my body with the music along with my arms as we meditated to her music. I feel so refreshed after our meditations together, that I acually cant wait to see her again the following week. It also did feel real good as I meditated with my dogs. I acually feel they all felt refreshed after our meditation as well. Until next week,

So Relaxed

I met with my friend Marcy on Sunday, and we meditated together again, which feels so good after a long week of homework and driving students around. We listened to her music and I was so relaxed with just sitting with my eyes closed listening to the music go through my body as every bone in my body felt loose. I didnt move any body parts today, it was just relaxing with out today. I felt so relaxed that when I went home, I had fell alseep on the couch as soon as I sat down, which is why I wasnt able to publish my meditation by Sunday. I was only going to sit for a little while and finish what I had to for homework. Sorry but it didnt work that way. I havent felt that relaxed for a long time, and I slept like a baby.

Week 2

This week was a very busy week for me with homework and driving my students, which can really be a tense job. I wasn't able to work out as much as I would have like to in the gym with being so busy. So Saturday I put time a side when I was finally home alone, put on some soft and quiet music, closed my eyes and relaxed. I could feel my body relaxing minute by minute. After about 10 minutes of just having my eyes closed listening to the quiet music, I started to move my arms above my head slowly to the beat of the music. I meditated for about 30 minutes, and afterward, I felt so relaxed and like a new person. I really am enjoying this meditation, and I really am going to try to meditate at least one more time during the middle of the week.

January 29, 2012

My friend Marcy has been studying qigong meditation which is Chinese. I had went to her house to learn her way of meditaion, and found it so very relaxing. We had listened to a tape to relax us, and when we relaxed, we started using our arms just swaying around us. This meditaion can be either active or quiet or may be active and quiet. I was really surprised on how relaxed my body really felt. I am going to continue to meditate with Marcy. She is going to continue to explain more each time I go to house for this meditation. This was just my first time, and she didn't want to scare me. I am looking forward to my next visit with Marcy.

Buddism Meditation

I have decided to try Buddism Meditation which can help wipe away everyday's stress, bringing inner peace.

My everyday life is busy, busy, busy, so I would like to try and learn how to Meditate and relax with the strees I also have everyday.

I'm hoping that with learning how to Meditate, I will be more relaxed and be able to handle the stress in my everyday life. I friend of mine acually Meditates all the time, so I am going to go by my friend Marcy and learn the way of Meditation to relax.
