I don't usually buy into the new age-y, touchy-feely stuff. But after the crummy week I've had, and since my goal for this blog was to try something new, I thought I'd give it a shot. Thanks to a clever article in the paper, I realized, there's an app for that! So I downloaded the "Headspace to go" app and decided to wing it. According to the article, and the handy-dandy intro video starring the company's president, there are 10 easy 10 minute guided meditations and you are supposed to complete 1 a day, focusing on certain aspects each day.
Now, I've tried meditation before. In a class in high school, we were guided through one. I really didn't see the point and I wasn't so much relaxed, as I was sleepy. So I pretty much knew what to expect and it was as expected. I layed there, I breathed, I relaxed...I almost fell asleep. But my brain did slow down a bit. If nothing else, I stopped thinking about everything and focused, so I'd say that was an accomplishment. We'll see how it goes for the next 9 days. Maybe, in 9 days time, I'll be calm, centered and the very picture of elightenment...OR I'll be asleep.
