For me it was just to get through the drama & depression associated with hormones & being a teen.<br /><br />I say that I meditate daily, but I like to be clear that I don't sit in lotus-position for an hour each day. Sometimes, yes. But sometimes I meditate while walking by the river, or out in my garden, or petting the cat. <br /><br />I think that letting go of the stereotype of a monk in robes, sitting for hours in perfect stillness is important. Making meditation approachable for everyone is something I'm passionate about. <br /><br />PS - your talk of grounding is so important too. It's a tool I use so often!Ruehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09521209734809361226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1413733392117024428.post-15385424805487029272011-01-23T08:53:41.483-05:002011-01-23T08:53:41.483-05:00This is such an area of weakness for me.

I really don't feel that this can happen. Grounding for me is a way to quiet the thoughts and images that are rushing about in my mind. And that seems to be a lot lately. Grounding is also a way for me to release negative energy/thoughts into Mother Earth.<br /><br />I began meditating when I was in high school. My Mom began a daily yoga routine which involved meditation and I learned along with her. Meditation has been a common practice for me for many, many years.Jeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15918915129013117664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1413733392117024428.post-64756763041381008602011-01-22T10:20:32.489-05:002011-01-22T10:20:32.489-05:00I started to meditate when a teacher in high schoo...I started to meditate when a teacher in high school said I needed it :-) I got so stressed before a test that I usually failed. But I remember how he called it relaxation practicing :-) Back then if anybody said they were meditating people stopped taking them seriously.<br /><br />I don´t do it every day any longer though. The surroundings is so calm and relaxing here anyway, but every now and again it happens :-)<br /><br />Have a great day now!<br />Christer.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
