I sat for almost 20 minutes this a.m. My mind was jumpy, but I kept bringing it back to my breath. The teachers say that meditation isn't necessarily about being in a concentrated state. The recognizing thinking and returning to the anchor over and over is meditation too. I really really hope that I don't sound pedantic in these posts. I'm such a beginner with all of this. I started many years ago, but kept drifting away. So, it's starting all over again to train my mind. May we all be happy and peaceful.
