"learning" to meditate

Quote From: marcia52

Bet it feels really really good to be nesting once again.   Take care and enjoy the quiet time -- that's why I loved pulling weeds and swimming, I'm learning to mediate, to quiet my GOT TO DO lists that seem to be ever present.

I use that term- meditation- loosely as I don't usually do it the way it is taught by eastern standards. (You know, sitting cross-legged chanting "OHM") I find myself drawn more to the practice of mindfulness, when an activity becomes rote and repetitious you begin to focus on the movement or sensation. For me it's a gateway to deeper levels of myself.

I bought a bicycle at a garage sale yesterday, and am experiencing resistance to riding it, which surprised me. I will let you know more about it later. For now I'm digging deep in my memories for all of those times in my childhood when my bike was a source of exhileration and freedom.
