Nocturnal Works

I try to meditate for an hour each night before bed. I was out of practice for awhile with COVID and not having my normal meditation space for some months. It is finally getting easier to be back in meditation. 

When you haven't practiced for awhile, you find yourself wanting to look at your timer, but when you have been in the space for a few weeks, you find yourself uninterested in time and the hour seems to pass so quickly.

I am not yet back to the place where I can begin meditation and it is over in what seems like seconds, but I am getting closer. I looked down after what seemed like a couple of minutes and thirty minutes had passed. The rest of the session went equally quickly.

Meditation is the most profound thing, when practiced consistently. I spent decades in my young life in religion and got almost nothing from the experience. Meditation is different. It is coming to know yourself in a deep way. Being with yourself without the buzz of movement and constant thought.

I am going to track how this nighttime meditation affects my dreams.
