Otoharo!
I am not very good at electrric and electronic things. My alarm clock is electric. So in trying to get it set last night so that I could be up in time for this meditation at 4:11 this morning, I botched it. It got stuck on 3:. So at 3 this morning, I was alerted.
I grabbed two afghans, one for my shoulders and one for my lap and got settled on the couch in my meditation position. (It is cold here). I began and held it for the whole two hours.
And just about the last twenty minutes of that time, reiki began coming into me from my friend. So I am really mellow now.
Today I play again at the farmer's market in town.
If you want a tip on how to get into meditation, I find what Xaris told me years ago the best. Simply listen a moment to the chatter going on in your head, then quietly step into your elevator and go down, noting simply that the chatter is still going on "up there" and I am below. Here I just be quiet while the breath settles into meditation pace and the power begins.
I used to offer an evening meditation time of two or three hours. My group would come in quietly and without any talk just slip into position somewhere. So I got used to staying in position for three hours at a whack.
