My Meditation 365 Challenge Day 3 …
Sunday chillin’, or rather it should be!
I felt huge anxiety this morning as I stupidly decided to treat myself (treat indeed!!) to a full caffeinated cup of Yorkshire Tea.
To top it all off, I also had a couple of glasses of wine last night, which for me results in stress and now anxiety!
So I made myself sit on my cushion and meditate. Even though my mind and body were screaming “there’s no time for this, don’t be selfish, resist, resist” etc, etc, etc.
But I sat all the same and held onto my crystals for dear life and just breathed.
Chaos continued to unfold all around me whilst I sat cross legged on my bedroom floor. Daughters calling me from downstairs. Dogs scrabbling everywhere. Bernard running off with new found toys from the stuff we were sorting for our new extension. My husband pottering to and fro with piles of laundry. Usual busy stuff.
But I sat and just continued to take deep breaths. Well at first all I could do was try. My anxiety was restricting my diaphragm so they were shallow, short breaths.
I kept going though as I knew it would release. I just needed to trust and be patient with my body. My mind was reminding me of a child’s roundabout you get in parks. Spinning faster and faster out of control.
With every breath and squeeze of crystals, I sensed it slowing and calming. Until it came to a complete stop. Utter peace and calm
I noticed that my breathing had become more calm. I was taking longer breaths with short pauses in between. In those very short pauses the peace and serenity increased. It was like knotted rope being pulled from my stomach, it felt so soothing.
It was only for 5 minutes but I’m grateful that I spent that time helping myself as I now feel that I’m no longer hanging off the roof of my house by my fingertips
Now I’m on the ground floor and ready to take on my day rather than run from it.
The stunning miracle of Crystal Energy at work!
