It's a great idea to be in a class. <br /><br />And as you say, when you're massively stressed, it's even tougher to stay on task for something so calm. When under that much stress, if I can manage it, a bunch of really deep breaths can get me a chunk of the benefits of meditation, the lower blood pressure, a little easing of the desire to do explode and such.<br /><br />Sincerely, TabbyDavehttp://fitnesstabby.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-83845778595941172472014-11-24T14:11:51.337-05:002014-11-24T14:11:51.337-05:00I've been interested in meditation, and I do f...I've been interested in meditation, and I do feel like having some sort of group or instructor would be helpful to the process.

Ugh. I still want to, though – this may be the motivation I need. I am starting to set up a space for myself in the basement that might do the trick.

Every time I read one of your meditation posts I think about it, but the next thing I know, time has evaporated again and it still hasn't happened. Right now, the closest I get is doing easy sudoku when I want to fall asleep. Just hard enough to take my mind off other stuff, not hard enough to require any serious attention.
