Sometimes when we sit in meditation, the thoughts and the ideas, the mental activity feels like pouring rain.
The timer is set, so we are assured that if we can find an “anchor” to place our attention then we will complete our “practice”.
Today was one of those sittings. Using the inhale and exhale as the anchor, i waited as i sat in my meditation practice. Every movement the body wanted to make, i acknowledged it by focusing on the axis from the sitting bones to the crown. Using the exhale to ground me into the body and the inhale to lift the awareness into this moment. The words, ‘now is always here’, like a mantra and a reminder.
The bell chimed, a deep gong sound.
The realization that i had dropped between the thoughts into a space, a shelter from the raining thoughts, a shelter of peace.
