Day 31

It has now been a month of (almost) daily meditation. The last two weeks have settled into a routine of four days of twenty-minute sits, two days without sits and one day of a 60-minute sit.

It has been interesting to see how I feel about during these hour-long sessions. They push me to the limits of what I am currently capable of. I fidget, I sneak peeks at the timer, I have weird visual hallucinations from trying to rest my eyes in one spot for too long.

In the weeks to come, I am going to try to return to daily sits, with no days missed, at 20 minutes each. The hour-long sits might just be so daunting that I abandon the whole thing, rather than make up lost days with longer sits.
