So I went to the gym this am and did my work out and figured I would work on clearing my mind this am before I went to the beach. I thought it being a Friday and my weekend off that I would be able to charge my mind and relax within to clear it.
So I sat here listening to the her voice with the waves and whistling in the background. As my breathing became easy my mind did appear to be clearer with no noises except the calming waves. I was off to a good start and several times my mind wondered out to other noises in the distance of the washer going to the scanner on in another room. I was able to focus and experience some inner calm several times but was unable to keep it focused on my breaths for to long. I would then wonder outward to the noises and eventually my son disturbed the whole process.
This process of calming the subtle mind as Dacher stated, will take some time. I am also going to look at doing this at night when my day is complete and not as many distractions to contend with.
I truly didn't think that this would be to difficult. Watching people mediate and look so comfortable and not even know that someone else is in the room is where I would like to be. I hope to run in the am and try some of these techniques out to see how I do. I haven't run outside in about a month because of the weather and inside on a treadmill, well there are way more distractions.
Well, thats it for now. Stay safe out there.
