Reprogramming The Mind For Success

Week 1 – Session 2
Listened to 1 hr Introduction mp3
Results: I found tonight’s meditation quite painful. Rather than laying down, which I did on my previous session, I decided to follow the instruction’s and meditate in the sitting position. Concentrating on posture became quite difficult and really high-lighted how much I slouch. This pain became a distraction in itself and I often found myself focusing on how sore my back was. I was sitting on my bed and on the edge of a cushion, so that my knees were pointed down and a slight curve in my lower back. My back and neck were straight, with relaxed shoulder’s that were pulled back. I had a pillow on my lap to raise my hands so that they were closer to my breathing “home base” and I sat with my finger tips touching together forming a circle. Once again I found my mind wandering, but this time it was easier to notice it and bring myself back to my breathing. Something that I am really noticing is how difficult it is for me to focus on one thing for 15 minutes. It sounds crazy, but my mind just wants to be doing 10 different things all at the same time. This obviously creates distractions and makes it difficult to focus on the task at hand.

Yours sincerely,

Week 1 – Session 1

Results: Fell asleep after the first 15 minutes. This guy is way too calm. Woke up at the exact point where he started the guided meditation. Phew! Really enjoyed the meditation and found my mind wandering a lot. It was good to have the breathing as something to focus on to bring me back to the meditation. Found myself so relaxed that just about every muscle in my body ached. Especially my forearms. After reviewing the session, it made me realize how distracted I really get. I spend so much time doing a million different things that I lose sense of being in the present. All in all, a good intro.
