Thanks Maris. Wondering how your mindfulness practice has grown since you posted? If you are still having difficulty, try just five minutes and very slowly build from there. You can set a timer and offer yourself a treat such as a cup of tea afterward. Try journaling afterward a couple of quick notes so you can congratulate yourself on your eventual progress.

Patrick, I agree. The vibration that happens deep in the body during chanting I find transformative as well. Wondering if you practice chanting or mantra? What about silent chanting too….The vibratory awareness grows more refined. In this spring meditation, which of course, could be practiced anytime there is birdsong to invite into your awareness, you might like to pay attention to any inner vibration occurring.

I love meditations like this. When it comes to meditating with the vibration of sound it definitely brings you into a state of awareness. Sound is something that resonates in all of our being an meditating to certain sounds will develop a certain sense of inner being to us that has not been experienced before.

I have read quite a lot of info about mindfulness meditation but has never gotten around to trying it out. But from your description, I could already feel the serenity of absorbing the sounds and ambiance of your natural surrounding environment. .-= Maris´s last blog ..Foolproof Tips in Managing Sunburn =-.
