About Meditation: Trying Something New

I started this blog a few years ago, as part of a college course about the world's religions. In the course, I had to engage in a practice from another religion for the duration of the course and blog about the experience for a grade. I chose meditation.

I cleared out my course blog posts, and let this sit for a while, but recently decided to give it another try. This time, not as a student required to do something for a grade, but as someone honoring a practice that's part of another religion

In a way, I frequently practice meditation without naming it as mediation. I stop to take in the beauty of the changing seasons and take deep breaths to enjoy the moment, and when my heart rateclimbs toohigh, I quiet my mind and my heart rate slows to nrormal, accordingly.

If you have an experience with meditation, leave a comment below. Or, if you have a site, video, or book about meditation you would like reviewed, leave a comment with your contact info, until I get a contact form posted here, and I'll get back to you.
