Week 21 Day 2

Week 21 Day 2

Medi object choiceless

Intention to remain alert and receptive. To compare locations of practice

Morning all! Today I am stuck on the tube and there is a signal failure so I've meditated for 42 mins and still not half way there. 5 mins metta at the start.

Metta still tough but persevered to maintain aww factor for more than a few seconds at a time..

Noting today was difficult due to the irregularities in noises in the carriage. It is definitely a difficult place to practice unless everyone is quiet! But because of delays in the service there was lots of conversation and plus I had no choice but to listen to an entire phone conversation between an IT contractor and an agent as he spoke so loud. Trouble is with heightened observation the awareness just goes to the most prevalent sensation no matter how unpleasant it is! Also lots of apologetic announcements. For some reason I am very weary...it's probably because I am thinking about all I have to do before I go on leave next week. Just need to hang on for 5 more days then will be released to meditate more freely!

Main focus was on the breath and those very irritating hearing sensations. There is a group of very noisy men who have joined me on this tube and are continuing their frenzied conversation.

So it might be bog medi again today if I get the chance otherwise will hope for an uneventful journey tomorrow.

The Piccadilly line has still not passed this stop so I'm very glad I changed onto this train!

Hope you have a good day and practice! Sun's out here! 🐽💜🐽
