It helps, sure, but if you can only quiet your mind and focus on your breathing for two minutes, it's better than not letting your mind still at all.Liz A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16531953467834426316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1078324787471983933.post-48513590702879310222013-06-21T08:34:34.540-04:002013-06-21T08:34:34.540-04:00Yay for sunny days AND distractions.

The fog will be back, I know, but I prefer not to think about it.<br />As for meditation, so many people have recommended that to me. Back in the early 70's, the boyfriend and I did the TM training and I stuck with that for about a year and a half. Maybe things would have been worse w/o it being in my days at that time but, I will say, the ensuing year and a half go down as one of the personally darkest points in my life.<br />I tried mediation again lat winter - gave it a good three month or so trial. Not impressed.Graciewildehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00142582724233027386noreply@blogger.com
