Meditation
The twenty four hours leading up to my meditation were somewhat hectic, three exams all leaving me a little drained, but at the same time confident in my work. Plus later that evening I had plans to meet with someone I hadn’t seen in some time, leaving me hopeful, excited. I would say my anxiety level was pretty low around a three, only issue was just hoping all would go well that night. I did notice some a bit tension in my shoulders, not sure if it was from the marathon study/test session or a bit of nervousness or excitement connected to my evening plans. Maybe it was a combination of the two and I would also have to rate it a four.
Later during the afternoon I choose a guided meditation by Bhante Sujiva which lasted around forty minutes. It started slow, as at first was distracted several times easily by aspects of my surroundings, including my dog who was nudged wondering what I was doing sitting in a unusual area. Once this passed I felt myself slip away from my thoughts on focus on my breathing and relax my body as directed. This relaxing continued and eventually felt great sense of tranquility. The tranquility seemed to be marked my a flow of waves or vibrations. These waves were free flowing feelings or emotions which entered and departed my awareness. This flow was easy the most relaxing section of the meditation, I have no idea how long it truly lasted. The end of the session was marked by a two light chimes, forty minutes seemed to have flown by.
Following the meditation my moods had shifted slightly, I was no longer drained and a new sense of clam that replaced it and flowed along with my hopeful/excited moods. My anxiety level had pretty much disappeared along with the tension. The fact that they were both almost nonexistent was probably the most interesting part of this experience.I knew that the meditation would help “lighten the load” but I didn’t think it would be as great of an amount as it turned out to be. I could defiantly see myself implanting more meditation into my lifestyle.
