My casual sits have been going longer and longer. Pushing past the 30 minutes by a long shot. I think I just need a place to escape the emotional over loaded that has me in a pretty fragile place these days. it takes a long time to just get my breathing anything close to level. Working from head to toe I visualize relaxing hands message away the tension. Eventually the choppy breathing becomes more steady and I can just rest with my breath.

I have cut out the Seroquel. It was my sleep aid but less and less was it working for me. I would be awake for hours and have a really hard time getting up because I was hung over from the meds. Meditation in bed doing the visualization of healing hands and then resting with my breath has meant the when I roll over to sleep it comes easier. And when it doesn't I am able to maintain the focus on my breath to stay in a calm and mindless state.

Nice picture sun. I really appreciate them. The sun is out again today. It is nice to spend tie in it even though the temperatures are below freezing. Very refreshing.
