Not sure why this is. <br /><br />It may be because my comments button is so small. You will find it right below the title of the post and it says "more thoughts". Please let me know if it is not there. I may need to change that again.<br /><br />Thank you Sandi, Robin, Caroline, Septembermom and Allison. Love sharing a mantra practice with you all.Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08700460888249251584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5686853280048230813.post-73056950484824842162010-02-04T05:03:45.843-06:002010-02-04T05:03:45.843-06:00Jill,

As you know, I'm not much into the Bible, but the phrase "Be still and know..." always has brought a peace to my mind and heart.<br /><br />Yay you for completing the challenge.No Longer Blogginghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12048458307663473398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5686853280048230813.post-24967199836330734162010-02-02T16:25:00.753-06:002010-02-02T16:25:00.753-06:00Jill!

I put inflection on each word and let the meaning resonate within...so *God* is breathing me. God *is* breathing me...so on.<br />What I learned from this challenge is that there is no 'right way' to meditate. I love the beach and running laps, hiking in the hills, kayaking around the harbor. Each activity allows me quiet in nature to actually ask, listen, or just praise the beauty; each quiets my mind in its own way...and that is part meditation for me. Actually sitting and meditating takes it to another level.<br />I love your photo. I love your words. I love how this practice has opened your heart that much more. I love that we all did this together:)<br />Much peace.....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5686853280048230813.post-64715691326837473622010-02-01T16:51:55.110-06:002010-02-01T16:51:55.110-06:00Miss M.F.P. - Those words are meant to be shared. ...Miss M.F.P. - Those words are meant to be shared.

I was just going to meditate till I felt that I was finished. Before I knew it 30 minutes had passed.
