Practice Makes Practice

I wrote a draft of a post yesterday, but it seems to have disappeared. Perhaps that’s unsurprising, given that I’m suffering a little COVID-related brain fog. ☁️ In fact, it’s probably for the best.

So in lieu of trying to reconstruct my wayward thoughts here, I’m instead offering a 9-minute mindfulness meditation this week. In truth, I suspect this practice is probably more useful than even the most clear-eyed of my writings, so why not give it a try? You could do it, like, right now.

Congratulations! You can now check MEDITATE off your to-do list. ✊ You can even mention this accomplishment as you enumerate the many great things you’ve done today to everyone you meet.

But don’t forget that periods of formal meditation will have a pretty limited reach if we fail to bring the practice into the rest of our lives. So even if you didn’t do the meditation, you can, right now, maybe pause for just a moment to feel the sensations in your body, observe a few waves of your breath, and see if you can drop back into the spaciousness of your awareness, and then just keep dropping back…

…again…

…and again…

…throughout the rest of your day. 😎
