Greetings, everyone! I've begun a separate thread for my 10pm EST / 8pm MST daily meditation. This works out to be the best time for me to meditate, for a number of reasons. If we go out to dinner we're often still out at 8pm because we eat late. So 10pm is the most regular time for me to be home and able to take that time. For those who are keying their meditations in on the 8pm hour, this is the same time as 8pm MST. So anybody in the Mountain time zone can join me and be in the 8pm zone! Of course anybody else is welcome to join me, too . We all have different times that work well for us!

Tonight I need to meditate on MySQL. I've had a serious server meltdown with one of my servers, and I'm having trouble getting MySQL to load up again on the new server. MySQL has all my forums posts, blog posts, and mail settings for that system, so I do need it to work. I've been plugging away at it for several hours, so taking a break to meditate is just what I need right now . If you're awake and around, feel free to join me!

Meditation can even be helpful for solving practical problems - it lets the mind relax while making space for creative and fresh ideas to emerge! Hope your computer situation is gradually improving...

A lovely soothing thunderstorm and it looks like I'll be able to recover all my blog and forum data. A lovely thing to meditate on.
If you are free, I would love for you to join me, even for a few minutes!
If it's 8pm your time, it's even better, as it's part of Susan's 8pm meditation system.

I think that's 9:00 pm CST. Is it every Thurs.? I think I'm going to get one of those erase boards and make a large wall-like mantra for when others are doing the same. If it's not in front of me, it's lost. Notebooks just don't work for me, but I feel the more this gets around the better and more powerful it will be. It feels something that's needed

Lisa, I'm glad your computer information can be restored. I back up my work nightly to another online service. Elleise, I've been leading this cyber meditation every day at 8pm my time for a year and a half. After several requests I've added literally hourly meditation times, on the hour to cover every time zone on our planet. You are one time zone earlier than Lisa. So 10pm east coast time is 9pm central time. If you want to meditate at my main time that is 7 hours earlier than me or 1pm each day. It is 10 minutes long. But as I've just explained, any time on the hour that you can do it, I'm there with you. Blessings, Susan

Elleise - Susan's main meditation is in a different thread, and I definitely encourage everyone to join Susan! She does an awesome job with her articles and advice. This thread here is for my personal meditation, because I meditate at a slightly different time. I meditate at 10pm east coast which, yes, is 9pm central. So you're welcome to join me, that would be lovely . You can meditate both with Susan and me, and that would bring you double relaxation!

Everything just happened to align and signed in... So, I'm in! Same thing happened on FB. Love "Spirit-Intervention." I don't know what exactly to meditate on, but for now I think it's gonna be something along the lines of awareness - and the fearlessness of going beyon where XYZ, has dared to go before. So...shhhhhhh...I'm there That was a mental note to self btw.

Coming up on my 10pm EST / 9pm CST / 8pm MST meditation - I'm going to meditate on reaching one's dreams. We all should move toward that goal, one step at a time!

Lisa, Are these every day? I'm CST. If they are, I'm trying to get a room going that tells me what to do w/timers and erase boards. I don't know what else to do? Like Something needs to tell me, time to edit your article. Next one due. But like I need it physically in front of my face...no kidding. The comp scheduling, I can't ever remember how to get to it so anywhoo. Off topic, But if it's every day. What time would that be here. I found the last 2 by accident signing in on either FB or here and joined in for about an hour. I don't know how long they go. If I set the room up, I can keep still for about 5-45 minuts. But I think I can get this, so I can do it regularily

Dear Karen - Having a board is a great idea! I know several people who plan their days with big boards. It helps to have a clock next to it. There are actually three meditation times for you every day . Susan is running the main meditation every day at 8pm Holland Time. That is 1pm CST. So if you make a note for 1pm CST, you can meditate with Susan. Susan also has a "rolling meditation" where every person meditates at 8pm in their own time zone. So if you meditate at 8pm EST, you'll be part of that rolling meditation. Unfortunately with my schedule I'm usually asleep during her "main meditation" - so I can't join in. I'm usually having dinner at her rolling 8pm meditation, so that one doesn't work well for me either. So I do my meditation at 10pm EST, which is 9pm CST. Yes, I do this every night. So I am quite pleased if people would like to join me! We all have different times that work well for us. You can do them for as long as you wish. I usually aim for a half hour with mine, but sometimes I do 10 minutes, and sometimes I do an hour. It all depends on what else is going on in my schedule.

Getting started a little late on my meditation. Meditating on the nature of friendship, and the short-lived delight of fresh tomatoes

I'm usually having dinner at her rolling 8pm meditation, so that one doesn't work well for me either. Would conscious eating count as meditation?

Ian, this Dilbert comic strip (you linked to) is very good!
Conscious eating certainly is a meditation. I lived on an ashram for a year and all our group meals were eaten in silence - the point being to quietly contemplate that the food was nurturing our body. Just being in a quiet pose while awake and concentrating calms the body, emotions, and eventually slows the train of thoughts - from hi-speed to local. LOL.

Ian, the daily world peace group meditation in the first thread in the meditation forum asks you not to have refreshments while meditating, because it is a still sitting meditation. The point being to close the eyes, quiet the body, and concentrate on emitting waves of peace to our world.

Hence the first quote in my signature Also when I began meditating the idea behind not eating beforehand was that it was "Too Grounding" in that Chi would be used in digesting the food that could be better used for the meditation.

Thank you! I'm on the fence w/my memory - it's like re-learning everything all over again. The things I'm having to do for myself are things I remember long ago doing for a 5 yr. old (which was my daughter). I'm like...don't I get another 40 or 50 yrs, before I get like this? Anyway, yes, I'll get my board. It's in the basement. I need to anchor it so it's right in front of me. I just happen to have a clock that's the size of Garfield, can't miss it. Plus this will take the load off having my husband explain it on a daily basis, lol. Thanks again

Red votive candle in a bronze palm tree for me, and the tea is a savory one: Tomato Mint. Very interesting tea.

I'm the same way. Though I wasn't able to meditate today, I did remember an editor's (michelle's) mother...she may not be, but I fit her mother in for a brief, but meaningful heartfelt prayer moment. She's in the hospital w/pneumonia. If anyone has a moment, just a thought of health and strength towards another can do wonders. But taxes...I used to do those for a living. P/E ration and all. I remember aspects of it, but now have to utilize one of those program thingies. Even then it gives me panic attacks, like I go over it again and again and again w/my husband. I have no idea. I don't make that much if anything in the first place. Most of all my work is free of charge...

I'll bet no matter how easy to do, that taxes give everyone stress - both the process and parting with money.

Susan - I make it far worse on myself by stretching it out. If I just did it in April it would be long over with. Instead I've been stressing about it for six months. I need to get better about this.

I'm just back from a week's cruise to Bermuda. I made a renewed focus to do yoga for an hour every day. As part of that, I meditated at the end of each yoga session. So I was meditating at 10:50pm EST rather than 10pm. And I suppose in Bermuda the clocks moved forward, so I was meditating at 10:50pm BST . I also meditated while watching the ocean and at other times. So it was a meditative trip! Tonight I'll be back to my normal 10pm EST meditations .

Coming up on my 10pm meditation! I'm pondering BellaOnline offering ebook awards / feedback to help authors. I'd love to help all those self-published authors get the recognition they deserve. Something to meditate on.

Lisa and Everyone, As the BellaOnline meditation editor I'd like to share that when I lived at Yogaville for a year, we took the main meal at 1pm after meditating at the LOTUS temple at noon. At each mealtime prayers and silent meditation came first, while we awaited our meal. For a traditional meditation the eyes are closed and the body is quiet and still. But, there are moving meditations where the eyes are open and the body is moving, among them walking meditation. But, even then, no nourishment is partaken while moving. I'd recommend that our readers make a routine to meditate before eating - after all, it is hard to eat when your eyes are closed and you are not moving your body. LOL. Blessings and happy meditating, Susan

Coming up on the 10pm meditation. I'll meditate on how much I'm really enjoying my photo-a-day project. I recommend everyone try it! Do you tend to take photos every day? Do you carry a camera around with you, maybe built into your phone?

Meditate! It helps your focus, your stress levels, your concentration, and your serenity! Just ten minutes make a difference. #serenity

Lovely meditation. We have a gently flickering fire, the kitty is sprawled before it; Bob serenaded me with his guitar. Life is to be savored.

Approaching my 10pm #meditation time. Feeling like I've made good progress today. A load of dishes done, my Smoothie ebook is publishing, I sent out four packages to various new homes, and I've got a nice glass of wine. A good spot for deep breaths. Join me in serenity!

... I used an online guided #meditation - lovely. I wish it didn't have flashing ad promos though. The incessant ads interrupted my immersion in the meditation. I finally had to move another window to cover them, so they weren't visible. 10 Minute Guided Meditation

Heading into my 10pm meditation. Today was a blur. With Julie's frequent pill schedule, I am barely sleeping but barely awake . Tomorrow Juliet finishes with her kitty-morphine and then things should calm down a bit, once it's just twice-a-day antibiotics on an even schedule. So I'll meditate on her healing well.

I'm on it My cat's not doing so well either, however I've been putting on the heating blanket on High and stroking (I guess in human terms they'd call it acupuncture) but her happy spots and meditating! She's gone from eyes barely open to bright-eyed and bushytailed...for now anyway. She's in her 60's (cat-yrs.) late, if I remember right. But meditation for all healing, emotions, physical & Spiritual, yes?

Heading into 10pm meditation time! I have been working all day on examining book covers. Investigating the nature of what draws a person in. I will meditate on the nature of what catches the emotion and interest of a reader.

FINALLY (crimany!) I think I have this down. I've set timers around the house allowing for 15 min. to calm the (explicit) down. Anywho...I'm here! Let's DO THIS! For tonight - music being, "Tao of Healing" via Dean Evenson. Basically Native American flute playing in the background. Meditation, when understood, DOES have movement! Meditation expecting well, something like instant knowledge of sorts...not so much. It's more the collective of mental power of which, again if you need something - we're (regardless of religion, race, sex, etc.) 100% 80 % water, simply unique. Focused, together, we bring that creative collective to that of a higher resolution. Basically HD-MT High definition mentality! So, enough w/that, it's just I've had many people asking why meditate? You might as well stare at a post in your lawn. I disagree... So here we go!

Heading in to 10pm meditation time. I wasn't able to do yoga this morning, although Bob did find me Tiger Balm . So I'll meditate on life with its twists and turns. Every day offers a new opportunity for growth.

Starting up my 10pm meditation. I'm working through the #Forgiveness book's accompanying CD. Today is "I Forgive Myself". #meditate The tracks are only 2-3 min long each so I figure each day I'll listen to the track and then meditate on it.

Heading into 10pm meditation time! Today's audio track is "I Forgive My Life". Hmmm. This book must be working - this seems a fine topic. I am fairly content with my life and how it's led up to here. Not everything was easy, but I learned and grew along the way.

Joyfully working on book 3 of my Sutton Mass series - tackling racial issues. I want to do my part raising these topics. May has been great in many ways for writing this, between the Clippers issues and the sadness of Maya Angelou passing away. Will meditate on equality.

I'm still listening my way through the CD that came with my Iyanla Vanzant's Forgiveness book. I liked the book a lot - the CD, not so much. There's an odd difference in two of the audio forgiveness meditations. The "Mother" track was about releasing negative feelings - a good aim. Today's "Father" track was more along the lines of, "it doesn't matter if he was a jerk and never around. God was there doing his job. So don't worry about your actual Dad. Just believe in God instead." I found that really strange. Surely we should want to forgive both parents equally?
