Three generations of women were hanging out at my grandmother's studio apartment today, me, my mother, and my grandmother. My upcoming period is around the corner. Need I say more. Breath-awareness has been in order. This is the time to stay super alert. (Cookies help too :) )
The Practice
Afternoon meditation at home - 30 minutes
Zazen Clinic with Roshi ( ZCLA's Abbot) - my meditation bench might not be the right height. I will attempt the half-lotus position.
Reflection
Adjusting the body has been just as important as adjusting the mind. Staying in tuned with the emotional reactions to insignificant things has been working. I felt myself getting more sensitive and irritated, but not totally lost. Sitting in breath-awareness and mind-awareness helps. Although, I did get slightly annoyed that I might have to change my sitting position. But isn't that how it goes? The moment you get used to something, change becomes inevitable.
