An Experience with Meditation

Once a month I participate in a group meditation. We meet in a church, and last week the choir was rehearsing nearby as we started our meditation.

"Breathe deeply through the nose and exhale slowly through the mouth." I focused on my breathing. I just kept breathing.

We meditate for 25 minutes, and after awhile choir rehearsal was over. I became aware that conversations were happening--some just outside our door. But I was more aware of my breathing and felt no need to quieten anyone.

I was meditating. The choir was dispersing. We were on parallel tracks. 

As our holiday season begins this week, may you be on your own path, noticing but not disturbed by what is going on around you.
