Third Meditation

In this Meditation last night, I was sitting lying down across my bed with the music from the youtube video I posted playing at low volume. I focused only on the light sounds and the dim lighting in my room as it provided a calm soothing environment for me to meditate in. I was in some comfy pajamas so this comfort pushed me deeper into the meditative state. I also tried the 7/11 breathing from Jordan's blog to help with the anxiety I was feeling late that night.

As I slipped deeper into it, my mind went blank. There was no distraction around me, no imagery, just blissful silence. I had to catch myself from falling asleep once or twice but overall the experience was very different and satisfying. I didn't even realize that the music I was playing stopped halfway through on its own. The coincidence helped me focus more at that moment.

When I stopped I felt even more relaxed and a little more drowsy so I went to bed shortly after. When I awoke this morning, I felt focused, alert, and controlled. There was no morning anxiety or any distractions. Just blissful silence.
