Meditation can happen during the day. Can I be without my phone? With no music? With no people? Can I be comfortable with my thoughts?
What are my thoughts telling me? I don’t have to answer them or act on them. Can I sit with my monkey mind?
My thoughts are a reflection of me. When I’m not distracting myself, who am I? What thoughts am I so afraid of that I need to distract myself from them?
Meditation is the practice of boredom. Can a tree a textured wall or the space of an empty room be enough?
Meditation is the practice of being alone. Feeling pain, digestion, cold, tension, thoughts. Being content with just being. Allowing the thoughts to cover my body like a warm breeze.
Meditation can happen at night. Can I lie in bed, not exhausted, without my phone, and close my eyes? I may not drift off to sleep right away. It may take fifteen minutes. Can I be with myself?
