28-Day Programme for Real Happiness with Mollie: Day 26

Day 26 -

I am nearing the end of the 28-day programme (ok, so it has been a few more days than that).  I have done my meditation every day, and it has definitely deepened and shifted in that time.

This morning, my practice was filled with a sense of open heartedness – I have been noticing this energy of heart expression inside me that seeks expression in the world.  It comes out in my work, it comes out in my relations.  (more…)

Day 11 -

What struck me today is the value of a steady practice, an even practice and a maintainable practice.  I had the morning off, so thought I would sit for 45 minutes, 15 minutes longer than I normally do.  When I have a little extra time, I take it, so my meditation was not the first thing in the morning, as it often is.  I did a few little things first.  A few little things turn into a few big things, and soon I am thinking about projects and all of that.  Then I sit to meditate.  Oops.
