Reblogged from Mindfulbalance Blog:
Why do you focus so hard when you meditate?
Do you want something?
Do you want something to happen?
Do you want something to stop happening?
Check to see if one of these attitudes is present.
The meditating mind should be relaxed and at peace.
You cannot practise when the mind is tense.

good reminder
I thought so
Hmmm. Want. Think that’s it?
ha ha , relax
Thank you for this reminder. Hope all is going well with you!
Yes thank you, back to work this week..quite a shift in energy.
Hope all well with you too
Perhaps it’s expectation that keeps us working at it instead of being in it? xoxoM
Perhaps…good point.
Very true, and yet so difficult. Like getting excited about falling asleep….thinking of being relaxed totally changes the flow.
It can be hard can’t it…but other times so effortless..
Wow what a very important reminder.
Yes it’s easy to expect things when we sit..
Expect nothing and something will happen
I wish something would happen but that’s me expecting !!
