I read a book a long time ago about how good meditation is for you. How it strengthens positive brain synapses, helps with concentration, relieves stress, blah blah blah. So I decided to give it a try. I know, I know, aside from being an organic farmer, I am far far away from anything even slightly hippie or “woo-woo”. Just the word crystal has me fleeing for the hills. But what can I say, this book and a few other nods in the meditation direction convinced me to give it a try.
I swear I notice no difference—I can’t tell that it does a thing for me, but I’ve continued to dabble now for several years because “they say” it is so good for me. Turns out, they have free guided meditation apps and everything! So I don’t have to have any idea what I’m doing. I just sit a few times a week and let the app speak into my ears and follow instructions.
Until recently, that is. I just sort of quit getting out of the bed in time, or had other things to do, or was just too lazy to sit still for 10 minutes
