I appreciated the space to just be with myself, no pressure to do anything, and no pressure not to think or to watch the breath or any other of those ‘meditation’ type activities. It is easy to feel the pressures I am putting on myself when still, and opportunity for them to release. It’s like there is a continual dream state going on under waking consciousness and it is revealed when I stop doing, and then, suddenly, a mysterious concern hidden a second ago is there before me and is over as quickly as it was realised, leaving a feeling of expansion and ease.

I am blessed to have a dedicated quiet room in the place where I work, so aim to use that as much as possible. Directly before and after work seem to be good times. That’s what I did today. It’s hard to remember all what happens, but I’ll attempt to communicate something of it.
