This meditation seemed quite tedious to me, actually. One thing I've noticed is that I prefer meditations that have very little speaking or where the speaking is not instructional. Maybe another way of putting it is that I like to be guided to discovering my own feelings. In this example, the speaker provides specific instructions and then explains what you should feel.
It feels more organic to me to come to your own sense of calm and relaxation. The feeling is more genuine, in my opinion. This meditation felt more forced, if that makes any sense.
It does make sense, Carlye! I had trouble with it, as well, but just assumed it was because I am a novice at meditation. I do plan to try it some more, but will not lose confidence in myself if this particular meditation just ends up not resonating with me.
ReplyDeleteI love your blog, because you have such a succinct and honest way of sharing your feelings.
Thank you,
