So we've established that I have a problem, well lots of them! So far I'm doing things different this time as far as sobriety goes. I'm blogging, listening to podcasts, reading blogs, commenting on blogs. I've joined the BFB. I really do think I'm off to a good start. In doing all of these things, something I've run across is the idea of meditation. I've seen Tara Brach's name mentioned in more than one place. The first time I saw it I ignored it without a second thought. Then I saw it again and I thought that maybe I should investigate a bit. I mean the idea is that I'm trying new things, right?
So I searched around a bit on the web, downloaded some podcasts of hers as well as a couple of others (Meditation Oasis). I can tell you that I don't know the first thing about meditation but listening to these calming voices has proven truly relaxing. Maybe I'm on to something here?
wooohoo, way to go. if you want a different outcome, you have to do something different right? you are, well done!
