Life got in the way as usual. <br /><br />From the sound of it, you seem to have mastered the art of meditation without any of the superficial elements that I seem to need. Yes, it is essentially the art of centering ourselves and like you said, it takes some unlearning and relearning to achieve. Thanks for the helpful tips Sudha. :-)<br /><br />Meena Sankaranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00691594996452828769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7439784079240429909.post-47108805846557502232016-09-08T12:37:42.468-07:002016-09-08T12:37:42.468-07:00I love your blog and your title too!

There...Meena, this topic is very close to my heart. There are numerous blogs, articles, methods to explore on this. What I've found is the mind is never going to stop chattering even when we're asleep, but my simple practice now is I let it do it's thing, I only pay attention if it's of any importance because for the most part it's always some form of unwanted worry or something I should have done or to do. Basically our mind is constantly living in the past or planning a future, both of which we've no control over, so to be in the present which is the hardest discipline, meditation is suggested. For me it means sitting with myself & having an inner chat with my higher self or divine or God, name doesn't matter, for most part my eyes are open. Taking a few minutes break without constantly doing anything is a form of meditation also to me as I can now center myself & regain clarity for the task in hand. So again my practice now has become to pause before I react which is an unlearning in itself as we've been well trained to do exactly just the opposite. Hope this helps.

I get sympathy pains in my quad muscles every time I see someone sit on the floor. As for the scratching urge, isn't it annoying how it rears its ugly head every time we are trying to do the impossible? One morning, I talked myself into going for a long walk which is no easy task for me, you know. 100 yards down the road, the itch in the back started. Let's just say that you can call what happened that morning a "walk" only in very loose terms. :-) Meena Sankaranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00691594996452828769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7439784079240429909.post-51029856179394060352016-08-19T05:20:28.920-07:002016-08-19T05:20:28.920-07:00@ Naaree - After reading your comment, I was intri...@ Naaree - After reading your comment, I was intrigued by the idea of 'thinking' a sloka instead of vocalizing it. I wanted to try it too so tried to chant Sashtikavasam with my mind voice. By the time I finished, my mind voice was so unbelievably sore. And I can't even soothe it with a peppermint.
