After 38 years I’ve decided to meditate.

10 minutes a day, for 3 months.

To see what happens.

To see what I gain. And what I lose.

My aim is to learn to enjoy nothing happening. To see what’s beneath all the bustle.

What’s your aim?

If you’ve ever thought of meditating, or just feel called to try something new – then join me.

We can support each other in this practice, and share our experiences along the way.

GUIDANCE

1) We started Monday Sep 11 2006, finishing Dec 11, 2006

2) Start today, whenever you have come.

3) I’m aiming for 20 minutes each morning, but with a minimum of 10. 10 is fine.

4) Put a calendar plainly visible on a wall. (I printed off September to December from Outlook). Tick off each day as you do it.

5) If you miss a day, make it up with two meditations the next day.

6) Post your commitment here on the blog, and share your experiences along the way.

7) If you like, invite your friends to also join you and declare. It will be more fun, and you’ll have a greater support structure to see it through. Send them to www.solutionbox.com/meditate

Finally, here are the words that inspired me to start:

“Nothing should happen in meditation. Meditation teaches you to value what is! And not to desire what is not. It points you to Here and now, silence, peace and innocence (nature), towards life it self.

Start more and more enjoying the quiet and nothing happening!

Sit in meditation, for 10 or 20 minutes everyday. A good time is in the morning just before you get up: Sit up in the bed or in a chair for 10 or 20 minute in meditation. Close the eyes and do nothing, just allow the mind, the thoughts to be somewhere in the passive snoring there for a little while longer. And enjoy nothing happening!”

What are you waiting for? I’ve already started – 10 minutes this morning.

See you in nothing 😉
