Meditation Taking Too Fucking Long
Attempt to achieve higher state of consciousness sure taking its sweet goddamn time this morning.
A CALM, PEACEFUL, AND HAPPY PLACE– Complaining that he had shit to do today and didn’t have all friggin’ morning to sit here taking stock of his breath and allowing the rhythm of the universe to guide his path in life, a local man attempting to complete a 15-minute Morning Affirmation meditation didn’t know it was going to feel like it would take all damn day.
Seated peacefully cross-legged in a serene, outdoor location removed from the distractions and frenetic pace of every day life, and having found his center by closing his eyes, adjusting his posture into alignment with the earth, grounding himself in the physical and metaphysical present, and using long, smooth breaths in through his nose and out through his mouth to fill and release from the center of his being, the man could swear he felt a tick crawling on him.
Approaching the brink of achieving a state of alert, focused relaxation by deliberately paying attention to thoughts and sensations without judgment, and listening to a pre-recorded guided meditation “Ask yourself: what is important in my life today?” by a guide named “CHAKRA,” his iPhone quietly alerted him that he was late.
Upon re-entering a state of conscious awareness and acknowledging that every day is a new day and represents an opportunity to move beyond whatever had occurred in the past, let everything that is...just be... and determine how to pursue this one true day that was his to do with what he may, he received notification that his 8:30 Zoom was starting without him.
