For a long time, the idea of sitting down with only my thoughts for company was a terrifying prospect.
Until I finally realised that was probably exactly why I needed to.
This is what mediation has given me.
Prompts:
1. How do you feel when your phone is out of charge or you have nothing to occupy your attention? Do you look for something else or can you sit with yourself?
2. How do you feel about the idea of mediating? Of sitting or lying down with the idea to allow your thoughts to freely move within your mind?
3. What is most on your mind right now?
4. And have you given yourself the time and space to think through what is most on your mind right now?
