RE: First Guided Meditation ~ An Out-Of-This-World Experience
This sounds amazing! I did not know that meditation can have such a powerful and immediate effect. I've only ever tried guided meditation at home and I think it is quite hard to stay focused. I too can have thoughts spinning in my head and overthink things especially if I'm tired or stressed. I've also tried yoga, and like it a lot for exercise and calming down but it hasn't helped me that much with overthinking. What works best for me is talking with a friend or going running, but I will try to find a place where I can try live guided meditation. :) Mia
I really had no idea what to expect. I thought this kind of experience was something you had to work for years and years toward (thinking of "Eat Pray Love"). I had no idea this would happen my first time, especially to me. I figured my mind would wander or I wouldn't be able to sit still. I had downloaded Meetup on my phone looking for writing workshops and stumbled upon it in the health interests. They really just meet up once a week, people that study and enjoy meditation and find free places to practice together.
Yeah that's what I've been thinking with meditation as well, that it takes a really long time to achieve those kinds of experiences. I'll have to try it out, it sounds really fascinating. I'm moving to the US in August, maybe I can find a group then. :)
