It was about 9:15 PM last night and I was trying to work on my IB HL Biology homework but that didn't turn out so well because I started to get distracted internally and had some technology errors with my computer so I was unable to type anything up. As I started to become more frustrated, I realized I wasn't going to get anymore work done at this rate so I went to youtube and put on some soft meditation music. Once I did that, I crawled into my bed and lied down on my back with my hands on my stomach and my legs crossed. I began to deeply inhale and slowly exhale.
Throughout the meditation, I was focusing on the music and my breathing and I fell into a deeper meditative state faster than when I was meditating the first time. Slowly the music started to dissolve around me and I was able to create more imagery with my mind. I saw grass, very detailed patches of grass starting to change color from red to blue to green. it was very detailed and I got so surprised that I almost lost concentration. A few minutes later my dog was barking and my mom was calling me for something and I had to start all over. When I started over, it was a bit harder to remain concentrated but I was slowly falling asleep! I had the music in the background to snap me out of it and concentrate on my breathing.
While I meditated, the imagery changed again. I was in a small, square grassy field which was surrounded by trees in a warm summer afternoon. There was a light breeze in the air which I could see but could not feel. The music in the background corresponded with the elements in the imagery with soft notes expressing the calmness of the nature around me and the crescendo expressing the sun's rays coming down to highlight the grass. When I stopped the meditation it was 9:45 and I felt less frustrated, more focused, and more light with my emotions. shortly after meditation, I went to bed and had peaceful dreams and told myself that I would tackle my assignments tomorrow.
