Kudos SanitySeeker and Sundog for your continuing efforts with meditation. As they say, "it's simple, but not easy". Even a 5 minute sit is better than none. There's nothing wrong with sitting in a chair, or anyplace that's comfortable. A teacher recently said, "Enlightenment can be found in chairs, too". Sometimes, I meditate lying down, though I find that I'm more prone to sleepiness that way. Sloth and torpor are the most frequent hindrances for me on my path. I sat this morning for about 20 minutes, but I sipped coffee here and there, and once fetched a dog toy from under the sofa (again). It will be a new stage of development when I can ignore Sherman's whines, or go into another room where I can close him out. I'm pathetically co-dependent with my dog. Sundog, I know you understand. Since I went out to an Alanon anniversary party/meeting this afternoon, I skipped going to the sangha for meditation this evening.

At dharmaseed.org, one talk that I really liked is called "How the dharma saved my life", by Bob Stahl, very down to earth. Ajahn Sumedho's talks are good, too. He has a great sense of humor. A lot of the talks are inspiring, and "prime the pump" for meditation. Some are geared for advanced students, and get into more of the Buddhist philosophy, not necessary for establishing a meditation practice. You can also search by keywords, e.g. anxiety, depression, etc.

Metta, y'all
