Google has surprised me with an interesting and attainable way to meditate. Interestingly, when I think of meditating, I also struggle to find a way to cut the distractions out of my time. The four-step process that is explained really assists, so long as I follow it. I also appreciated that I am not alone in the struggle, and who wants to be perfect at meditating anyway? It’s a process, just as described.
Key Takeaways:
- Over the past few years, I’ve had an on-again-and-off-again flirtation with meditation.
- It’s on whenever I get jealous hearing someone talk about how their sitting practice has totally changed their life.
- This, I learned recently, is not an especially helpful approach to meditation.
