04.01.23 - April Intention - Begin Again

Hello, friends.

It's a new day and a new month and a new beginning of sorts. We're also starting in a new place, having moved from Patreon. What a better time to talk about beginning again?

In meditation, I think people often get irritated with themselves at not being "good" at it. Maybe they get distracted a lot or just feel like they aren't doing it right. The most wrong you can be in meditation is not doing it. Otherwise, showing up and the willingness to start again is all that's required.

Today, we go over our basic meditation posture and we talk about starting again. We'll hopefully find a posture that works for you and helps your practice. The photo below is the hand position that I mention in the meditation.

We also talk about each time a distraction comes that you can just start again. We don't have to worry about how many times we get distracted. We don't have to worry at all! We just have to come back to our focus.

There are so many areas of life that I know I step away from because I got off track. Maybe it's meditation or maybe it's something else entirely. Sometimes it feels easier to just walk away than to start again. Or maybe it just feels like not an option, but isn't it?

Let's practice beginning again today.

I hope today that you're inspired to begin your practice again or maybe something else in your life that you've been wanting to start again.

No matter what it is, it's a good day to begin again.
