Week 22 Day 3

Week 22 Day 3

Evening all, a busy day but was able to meditate for 45 mins this morning before it started. Metta for 5 mins then 40 mins noting. 

Metta today still fairly hard particularly as it takes about 30 seconds to settle. Probably should start a minute in so that things are calmer. 

Noting began with the breath as always and then I cycled through the senses - hearing, seeing, feeling. Neutral taste and smell today. My hands went like lumps again but not as pronounced as yesterday.  After the first bell I had to sneeze, no control over that. I adjusted the coverings and continued. Thoughts of planning came into view and also a scene of some weird surgery...how to fix knees! It must be because I have been watching a lot of 'How do they do that?' programmes. LOL. After 15 mins I had to adjust my posture due to back ache. I watched a swirly show of green in front of my eyes. The washing machine was rumbling every now and then, and then the cycle finished so the alarm went off for a while and so I was drawn to it each time it went off, 3 buzzes and then it stops and it always felt too long between alarms. I had thoughts of a shade sail being put up...which was supposed to happen but didn't as I have to get a smaller one. There were a few noises of cars driving by and also naughty planes veering off the correct flight path. 

Today I had to keep cycling through the senses to remain alert. Again at the end, it took a few seconds to move out of the practice state. 

Hope you are having a good day!
