Meditation: Day 15

I'm getting sick! I had to lay down for meditation today and it felt absolutely wonderful to be horizontal. I had a hard time keeping my eyes closed. I put my hands on my stomach and felt the breath moving in and out. It was nice. Time passed quickly.

When I first started this meditation practice, I expected revolutionary, revelatory things to happen in every sitting. But what I'm noticing is that it's life outside the 10 minutes that is changing. I find myself noticing things more. The smell of dinner cooking. The texture of the dog's fur. The pattern on the wooden floorboards. And that makes life more interesting and pleasurable.
