You're welcome. I have a hard time quieting my mind. I haven't learned to meditate. But I do try to think happy thoughts!

Jana, let's do this meditation together:

Sit in a straight back chair, soles of feet planted on the floor.

Fold hands in lap and close eyes.

Inhale and exhale evenly in a relaxed way, regular breathing. Do not hold breath at any time.

Observe your breaths as if watching them on a playing field while looking on from the grand stand.

When your mind wanders off gently focus again on watching the breaths.

Keep this up as long as you can and then finish by thinking of an appreciation for some aspect of your life.

Open your eyes, stretch out, and enjoy the peaceful feeling.

Thought for the day:

When disturbed, take a few minutes to meditate to recapture your peace ...

Thanks Susan. I'll try that. I something like this last night, but I was trying to sleep. It took awhile, it wasn't easy to focus my mind.

I found my comfortable spot and kept tell myself to focus on the noise of the fan (I sleep with one all year 'round).

I had to keep refocusing and played some instrumental music in my head. I finally drifted off to sleep.

Thank you Susan. My avatar is a stylization of Bastet, the Egyptian Goddess, the protector of cats.

When I go to sleep and have problems, that's when I do the white noise and my 'sleepy time' meditation. I guess I'd never thought of it that way.
