Jason gave me the title of this blog entry.
It's monday, presumably my favorite day of the week. Why is it my favorite day of the week? I like that it is a brand new week and I can do anything and have a week to do it. Well, more than a week, but the point I am making is, I like beginnings.
My therapist suggests I meditate.
At first I am thinking of candles and incense and middle eastern music and hours of sitting cross-legged (I almost wrote “indian style”)
Basically, it is just a quieting of the mind, concentrating on the breath and you don't have to sit like a pretzel, you just need to be comfortable. It gives you a break from the world and asks you to reconnect to the REAL world. You focus on your breath and start to peel back the sounds you hear. Try to listen to the subtleties.
This to me sounds like re-booting. I always and sadly use computer talk in describing things about myself. I have even become so absorbed in Photoshop that afterwards when I am doing household chores or whatever I honestly believe I can delete something if I make a mistake.
Yes, meditation would be good. Perhaps go to a class to get initiated. There is a cool place down at the Fine Arts Center and that place has such amazing energy.
I am going to look into it.
