Remaining mindful of where I am I move through the day maintain a sense of calm and acceptance. It is comforting and healing. Tomorrow will bring what tomorrow brings. My meditation this morning was restful as just sat listening to the beat of my heart.

I usually sit upright on a blanket on the floor with my knees crossed and my hands resting palm up on my knees. It usually takes me a while to find that relaxed place with my back straight. My only discomfort is when my legs go to sleep. If I am just meditating to let go of something nagging on me then I will sit in my lounger and just focus on my breathing and allow it to slow me down.

For years I have relied on meditation as an anxiety buster but since starting here again to give more time to meditating I am quicker to use it before the anxiety gets out of control. I tend to get quiet impatient if I am waiting for someone. Every second that goes by increases the anxiety. While waiting a few times yesterday, with hardly a thought I closed my eyes and just breathed or listened to the music on the radio. It made a difference to how I made it through the day.

I am going to take some time this evening to listen to a dharma talk 'Finding ease with emotions'. I am looking foward to it. Thanks a gain Lavie for the link.

I hope the practice is bearing fruit for all who are taking the time to show themselves the act of kindness it truly is.
