Morning meditation
December 3, 2007 at 11:12 pm | Posted in breathing, daily practices, health, meditation | 1 CommentI have been wanting to get a new morning routine. For the last 2 weeks i have meditated in the morning for 10 to 20 minutes. Upon waking I get up and make it to the bathroom and then get back into bed and sit on top of a couple of pillows. I focus on my straight spine and lengthening it with every breath. Then i just relax and observe my breath – where it goes, where it meets resistance. My point of focus then progresses to mid brow where i connect with the blackness of the big bang- I lose myself and my boundaries and meld into the infinite.
I am not sure what this does for me yet – no overt response i can name – i will keep going though as something in me believes it is supporting my inner calm to exist – being a fiery person steady is a a good antidote to the daily ups and downs. Also as i become more acclimatised to my own fragility this less abrupt arrival in the world ver morning reminds me i can enhance the gentleness i perceive in the world.
So for now i continue and will update changes i notice.

Hi Wendy,
I have done some morning meditation in the past, and I really wish I could get back into it. The problem is, I barely have time to exercise right now and mornings are so rushed since I have to commute an hour to work everyday. But it seems like morning meditation could help me get to that more ideal path of wellness. Your words may inspire me to do that.
