Recipe for Meditation

Ingredients

  • A quiet place where you won’t be disturbed
  • Something comfortable to sit on for a prolonged period of time
  • Earbuds or ear plugs
  • Comfortable clothing
  • A mind

Steps

  1. Dressed for comfort and in a place you won’t be disturbed, sit down and take a few deep breaths, in through your nose, out through your mouth.
  2. Feel tension leave your body. To further relax, starting from your toes and ending at the crown of your head, consciously and logically release tension from each individual body part. It also might help to flex the part you want to relax if you have trouble tapping the sensation of relaxation.
  3. Return your attention back to your breath. Once you’re sufficiently relaxed, you only need to focus on your breath, no need to try to control it.
  4. Take the same attitude with the random thoughts you will inevitably take notice of. Observe them for a second but don’t judge them. Gently bring your attention back to your breath.
  5. As you delve deeper into your mind, you might start to feel strange sensations or think thought that alarm you. just relax and keep going. It’s still your mind and body, nothing unnatural or bad is occuring. With more practice, you’ll feel more comfortable and start to see certain benefits manifest even when you’re not meditating.

The breathing exersise, poem

Breathing in

with eyes closed.

Suffocating from within,

I’m lost in abyss of thoughts.

 

Crowded mind,

Be quiet!

The reaction is mild:

I’m crying.

 

Letting go tears,

Clear and free.

Everything disappears

In the endless sea.

 

I’m dissolved in the air

With silence inside.

Flowing nowhere

With nothing to hide.

 

Raindrops falling

From the gloomy sky.

The water is pouring

Nature’s lullaby.

 

Body’s asleep

But mind is awake

To find the answer,

To find a break.

 

Flies to the mountains,

Flies to the seas.

Nowhere or everywhere

The one with the breeze.

 

Bundle of energy,

Emotions and means

Searching for purpose,

Realizing her dreams.

 

The goal is set,

The way is clear.

Don’t you dare to forget

That love lives here.

 

Long, steady flow

Sets free all doubt.

I feel the glow

And breathing out.

Response to Donald Murray Reading

While reading this, i realize that i personally do not re-read my own work nor do i revise my work. i simply just write and edit , re-write it and hand it in. what shocked me was the professors that read Murray book and felt as if they didn’t know what they were doing anymore.  This article and the “Shitty” articles are similar in many ways.

Quote from Murray Article from a professor ” My students are smarter than i am. I have to rewrite and rewrite many drafts”.  He felt embarrassed because he had to rewrite over and over again. I don’t think that makes you question your intelligence.
