Meditation is not as easy as it sounds. It is actually really hard. Sitting still is probably the most difficult part, because sitting in the chair as recommended seems to leave me fidgety and distracted in a matter of moments. Lying in bed, also a recommended option, leaves me apt to falling asleep quickly. The palms up, palms down centering seems to be more comfortable than meditating on creation or significant events seem to be. Meditatio Scripturarum also seems doable. I've tried meditating several times since Wednesday when I started this, and I'm finding that my lack of patience is an issue, but I am determined to keep trying.
Thoughts on the scripture that I read today:
Numbers 14:18
Do I want to pass the sin/ punishment on to my children that was given to me?
Numbers 15:37-41
This is where the blue thread in the 4 tassels of a Jewish prayer shawl come from.
