Meditation has long intrigued me, but it wasn't until recently that I decided to study it and to begin a practice. I'm not even sure I used to understand the concept of a practice. It was more of a, "this odd thing at the end of my yoga workout seems interesting."
The desire really began to take root when my 3 young children began to reach toddlerhood. I was seeking to create a more peaceful and mindful daily rhythm to our lives. I wanted to be more present for them, seeking to find a connection and a balance with a life I find difficult, meeting the needs of these small creatures who need so much. Also, I wanted to yell less.
I begin today and set my intention. Twice a day, for the next 365 days, I will endeavor to meditate. I will see where it takes me. Or, rather, where I take myself.
