Blessings on Time to Meditate Day 33:

We’ve made it together - congratulations and gratitude for sharing this opportunity to embrace meditation as part of the New Normal! Today marks the end of the series yet with all the practicing that we’ve done, perhaps you’ll want to begin again from the beginning:-) All of the meditations will remain on my website page for easy access. And . . if you’re interested in reading the whole story about the blog quote above, please see ‘Renos Inside & Out.'

For today, Day 33, the selection is a lengthy and gorgeous sound recording of piano and flute music. (182 min)

I invite you to listen to as much of the recording as you like, while you use the Taoist ’Navel Meditation’ technique as described by Madisyn Taylor - 

'To begin, assume a comfortable and natural seated position--either cross-legged on a cushion on the floor or on a chair with your legs facing forward. Maintaining an upright, balanced posture will ensure that you are physically centred and prevent fatigue. Close your eyes and relax your body gradually, starting at the toes and ending at the crown of the head. Take a moment to note any physical sensations you are feeling, such as the hardness of the floor under your legs or the weight of a piece of jewelry. When you are relaxed, breathe through the nose at your natural pace. With each inhalation, draw air deep into the abdomen, allowing the area surrounding your navel to rise and fall. Gradually focus your attention on the sensations caused by the inhalation and exhalation of breath. Feel the air flowing in and out of the nostrils as well as the expansion and contraction of the abdomen. If you find it difficult to concentrate on both sensations, concentrate only on the movement of the navel area. 

As you endeavour to commune with the breath, you may notice that your mind strays. When this occurs, do not attach any significance to your thoughts. Simply bring your attention back to the flow of air into and out of your body and the rise and fall of your navel. Eventually, the torrent of mental noise flooding your mind will slow to a trickle, and you will learn to control the current of your thoughts until you are no longer at the mercy of your reactions.’

Finally, I had invited you on Day 1, Day 11, Day 22, and now on Day 33 to revisit the 3 questions to assess the benefits of meditating. Once again, rate yourself on a sliding scale between 1 and 10, with 1 being least/lowest/untrue and 10 being most/highest/true. Don’t judge your answers. Be honest and compassionate with yourself.

1. What is the level of calm and balance in my life overall right now? (Rate from 1 to 10)

2. To what degree do I feel empowered in my life right now? (Rate from 1 to10)

3. How happy do I feel right now? (Rate from 1 to 10)
