Week 21 Day 3

Week 21 Day 3

Medi object choiceless

Intention to remain alert and focused in a noisy place

Morning all!  Today the practice was 40 mins with a mindful interruption when I changed trains. 5 mins metta was difficult but I will persevere!  There is a little boy in a pushchair who is giggling at something and it's very endearing.

I started with observing the breath and as usual noises on the train were dominant. The skinny woman next to me was wide as a house as she knocked me with her elbow and newspaper. About 15 mins in I felt a cold sensation on my hand and opened my eyes and the zipper on a woman's coat had touched me as she leant over to open the vent. I observed her quilted black coat and how the sleeves were pointed at the ends. I closed my eyes and continued. There were moments of focus but they were hard to maintain. I watched a very short light show on my eyelids. As I embarked on the 2nd train it was quiet but a large group of Italians got on about 5 mins later and the quiet was disturbed substantially as a young boy in their party started to stamp his feet. This sounded the end of my practice.

May have to adjust location of practice! Hope you all have a great day and practice today! Right back to work! 🐽💜🐽
