About that One-Hour-per-Day Meditation

Finding the time, "carving it out of the day", was the easy part.  Really.

If you have doubts check this conversation which helped me and at least two others that I know of.

I was surprised at how things can re-arrange themselves. It was as if some mysterious brain wiring within me knew that the ever-lasting effects of sitting for an hour a day would much outweigh any scheduling inconveniences. It even outsmarted all witty mind constructions that would thoroughly justify using the time in a more "productive" way.  Vipasssana: 1.  Mind-Witty-Arguments: 0

The hard part is the sitting there. For an hour. With my mind.  

It has been well over a month now and the daily practice took about 30 days only to get to a point where some stable focus on the breath was possible and a slight scanning of the body do-able. Without words, without judging, just being with it, one moment at the time.

There is a LOT going on in there.

Today I read from Chris that Vipassana has been sneaking back up into his life and that he is wondering weather he could do not just one but two hours.  Could he "find" that time? It inspired me.  So I sat for two hours today.  Feel like a superhero. Probably not a good sign.

So I don't know if I can carve two hours, there! I said it too.  But as an intention it sounds delicious.
