  • Jessamyn Stanley lets us in on a secret we've all been wondering: finding ultimate peace and calm does not exist. Instead, focus on listening to your thoughts and allowing them to be there. Eventually, that chatter will clear and you'll find a calm and peaceful state. Try this 10-minute meditation for beginners and let us know how you feel after.

Cork blocks are much better than foam because they're a lot sturdier. In the next year or so I'll have a UA-cam channel. I could do it now because I've been practicing for 8 years but I'd rather wait until I've got my certificate and I need the equipment for filming as well xx

    Hello sister 🙏🏽. I would like to start meditating but my biggest problem is I work night shift and get home from work at 6:30 am, take my autistic daughter to school at 8:30, and pick her up at 11:30. After those hrs it’s hard for me to meditate because I’m tired. Once I wake up to pick my daughter up I can’t go back to sleep. So I’m really not getting my proper rest. It’s times I’m up 2 days straight. My question is, do I have to meditate at the same time everyday?

    • @marjoryrainey5761
      @marjoryrainey5761 4 роки тому

      Hi Sylante, I am not an expert but wanted to comment and say bless you for putting your family's needs before your own. I hope with this Covid-19 things are going okay with you and yours. Maybe there is more time to meditate, maybe not. It is so difficult to meditate when you are tired - at least for me, I tend to drift in and out of sleep when I meditate sleepy. But, even during those times it is restful. It sounds like your life is demanding and exhausting, so even 10 minutes of quiet, while maybe not 100% meditation, is 100% some form of rest. I hope this 6 month late reply finds you well. xo Stay healthy.
