Hi Dinah -
Are you listening to Carol Spears "Lovingkindness" meditation.
My T asked me if I was open to meditation just after Christmas. She just listens to music, suggested a few. I went on-line and found this site
www.learning meditation.com
I did find the guided stuff helped in the beginning. So when my mind wandered (which was often) I could gently go back to the image the person was speaking about. Now I like listening to music (non-verbal) and silence. I find some guided meditations so simplistic - "Just let your pain go". If it was that easy, the entire world population could achieve peace after one meditation session.
I'm not sure what it is doing for me, but I do have a vague feeling that it is helping me. I feel like it is connecting different parts of my thinking and feeling neural pathways together --- I know that sounds weird.
My T doesn't seem the meditaion type - don't know there is a "type" - but I'm glad she suggested it. She seems interested that I'm trying this and will ask about it from time to time.
My daughter and I just started this Sunday night yoga class together. I LOVE THAT! We meditate at the end of the class and last week I felt like crying.
