MEDITATION TECHNIQUE: Breath Focus

SYMPTOMS WHILE MEDITATING:
I have been slightly (ok, majorly) stressed from work and I'm really not trying to make up excuses, I promise I'm not. However this stress is following me home. I believe I'm meditating far too late in the day. By the time I settle down for meditation and finish the session, it is almost time for bed. I have to try waking up in the middle of the night with my WBTB to try my meditation sessions to see if this will make a difference. Sensations are the same, but when I'm really stressed it takes a long time for me to relax. When I finally do settle down, I can feel some weak vibes and slight feeling of floating. I also will hear my thoughts get distant every now and then. And as always, random short dreamlets. For this week, never strong enough for me to lift out.

RESULTS
I can say no matter how bad I think I did with my meditation, I always feel sooooo much better when I am finished. It may take me a while to settle my mind, but when I come out of it I feel so good...like I can go on another day. So every session is truly a success. At one point today during meditation, I was mentally fighting with myself and I had to realize that thoughts will seep through AND LET THEM! Instead of letting myself get all tensed up I need to understand these random thoughts will go away and I can get back to relaxing. My job will still be there tomorrow.

What did I learn?
Tension is a B#TCH!

I will carry on!
