Dear David,
So far the running is going as planned - .5, off day, then the
consecutive streak is 1.25, 1.6, 2, 2, and today 2.25 in a spring
chilled morning mist with gray and white skies. I have upped the
meditation sessions to 30 minutes upon waking, 40 minutes upon returning
from the running workout (after a shower), then an evening session of
30 minutes followed by listening to music while in meditation posture.
This is a new routine for me, and I think it is a good one, one of the
best I have followed in a long time, actually. I have managed to
eradicate less meaningful habits and routines, and the progress with the
meditation is producing favorable results. Mind is slowly becoming
quiet, body is adjusting with sitting becoming ever more comfortable.
When sitting I try not to expect any kind of happening, just to see how
it goes, some sessions are more peaceful than others. This morning was
excellent and calm, the afternoon session just completed not so much due
to the mind wondering about financial changes caused by the lockdown.
If I can continue with 3 sessions per day until the lockdown ends peace
and calm will possibly be lingering inside of me.
