I have never been a big fan of Meditation. I have many theorys as to why I have not been. Too boring, too long, too quiet, not able to focus, rather be doing something, no time and the list goes on. In the past I have been requested to meditate to complete a requirement for something, Begrudgingly I do it. That all changed very recently.
Per a suggestion from a friend, I cleared off my altar and set before it and just did some breathing. I breathe in calm and breathe out peace. I do this until I feel releaxed. Then I create a "loop" of love. I breathe in the love of the Gods and breathe my love back to them. I do this for about 10 mins a day. It seems very simple but it makes me feel very calm and at peace and full of love, which appears to be the point.
I have found I need this time to focus and release and relax. My job consists of people that are angry and tell me about it all day long. I try not to take it personal. I know that these people are really not mad at me, even though they are saying very personal things. I must separate. Disconnect from the negative.
