Describe what was going on in your mind and your body, what kind of thoughts and sensations did you experience during the meditation? Were there any challenging or frustrating aspects of the experience, and if so, what were they? Would you try this again in the future? Why or why not?

I choose the Confidence and Breathing by Gil Fronsdal”. Because I think it’s a really easy meditation to take. When I take this meditation, at first my mind were being very being. And by the rhythm breathing with the soft music my mind began to slow the step. I felt really relax and also little bit sleepy. After little minute there were blank in my brain. My mood became really peaceful. I think it really helpful when i feel nervous or getting annoyed, it will give me more space and time to forget who am I, what i should do but just put myself into the natural.I think i will continue doing this. It really help me a lot.
