Day 53

It has become that much more apparent that the world of form consists of nothing but endings. Before the movie begins it's already over. Before the cold starts, we're already healed. Before we sit down to eat, we've already finished.

When you begin to look at endings, it's sort of disheartening; and yet, when you look deeper, there's something that allows all endings to be and THAT which allows it does NOT end. What is THAT?

The Practice

Laying on my back, staring at the ceiling in meditation - 20 minutes

Reflection

Who says that meditation can only happen when you sit? However, it does take to be grounded in stillness in order to lie on your back, stare at the ceiling, and not fall asleep. I had a temperature yesterday  and laying down was the only way I could meditate. I found that my focus shifted more, but I also went deeper at certain times as the position was more relaxing than sitting upright. There's more openness that comes with relaxation.
