Welcome to the first week of this meditation course, over the next four weeks find some time each day to follow this simple and powerful guidance, this will open a deep sense of peace and clarity within you as you work on disciplining the mind to a less frantic, exhausted and worried place.
For the next 7 days find 10 minutes where you feel you most likely won't be disturbed. This may seem like a challenge at first, but even the act of recognising you find it hard to get 10 minutes to yourself is a step towards peace and wellbeing, if you have a a particularly frantic life at the moment try setting your alarm for ten minutes earlier in the morning or take ten minutes when everyone around has gone to bed.
Try to do the meditation even if you don't feel like it, this is crucial. Thoughts of "I don't have time" or "I'm too stressed for this" is all part of the mind's games and is ultimately false. Even if you sit and find your mind is a swirling storm of thoughts, and feelings, it remains a powerful practice in itself if your intention is to find peace, and observe thought rather than become tangled in them. Even if you just take ten minutes to listen but recognise your attention may be elsewhere, you will still benefit.
However, if you find you have missed a day there is no need to admonish yourself and become frustrated, simply recognise what happened on that day and pick the week back up. Don't let the mind convince you that "I can't do this" simply pick the week back up and carry on as if you hadn't missed a day. After all, today is the only day there is ;)
Week 1 is about grounding in the present moment. As the weeks go on we will explore ways to deepen and strengthen your peace. However for now, the practice solely revolves around immersing yourself entirely within the present moment. A simple practice yes. An easy practice? Well, why don't we take a look together :)
