I meditated for ten minutes in the sun, feeling its glorious golden rays shower me with energy. The smell of the garden soil and flowers, the twittering of different types of birds, and the beautiful sight of a stunning gold and black butterfly alighting upon the lemon tree made me feel like I was sitting in Eden.
I frequently meditate throughout the day wherever I go with minute meditations. In the car, waiting room, etc. I even learned to meditate while standing in line. It feels so good. Doesn't bother me to have to wait anywhere anymore. Used to take a book but now I prefer to meditate.

Sandra - that's lovely! I definitely try to do a short meditation in bed before I begin the day, to set my intentions. I agree, it's quite relaxing and peaceful.

Lori - Wow, you lucky duck! You definitely did have an ideal meditation atmosphere going for you! We were grey and chill here, so I couldn't go outside. It sounds like you are quite blessed!
Your idea of meditating when the time opens up to you is wonderful. I will definitely try to do that in my own life.

I will be doing a ten minute meditation in just about ten minutes, at ten pm EST. I'd love to have people join me! I simply sit in my desk chair, so it is easy. It is quite stress-releasing.

Just finished my ten minute meditation exactly ten minutes later, without a timer. It's amazing how the brain can do that. Peaceful. I highly recommend wiggling a ten minute meditation into your schedule, it's amazingly restful.

Will you aim to do this every day? I'll try to meet up with you. Susan meditates every day at 11 am.

Kudos to all our meditators! My formal meditation is 11am west coast time. We can all be part of a meditation for world peace by making the intention that our meditations join together from near and far with this intent. For me, on Netherlands time, I sit at 8pm to anchor the daily world-wide cyber meditation.

This is wonderful! I will plan to meditate with you all at 11 AM and 7 PM West Coast Time (PST). How long will you meditate for, Susan? Are you familiar with this group called the World Peace Ring? They join hands in a circle and meditate together and say a prayer for world peace. Of course, those who cannot be there in the physical, meet up in the spiritual. World Peace Ring
