Hello Jason,
This was a rather interesting and informative read. I began my meditation journey a few days ago using an app called Headspace which is a form of daily guided meditation. I'm on my 6th day and I hope I continue it long enough to make it a lifestyle. In your previous post you spoke about patience, which was encouraging. Sometimes, it can be daunting when your mind wonders and you feel discouraged because you're not doing it right.
Your tips are very similar to ones described in my daily guided meditations so I am more convinced I am on the right path. Additionally, I learnt from your previous post that meditation can occur outside of sitting down ie running. I have removed music from my daily running exercises; it makes it harder but it allows me to leave my comfort zone and practice meditation on two fronts.
Looking forward to your next post.
Love and peace
