Meditation Space
I have meditated on and off for years. A few months ago, I decided to get serious about it but life intervened and it got shuffled to the wayside. My psyche hurts a great deal these days and i decided it was time to dust off the zafu and begin again.
Zafu
Zafu is a meditation cushion that I use to sit on the floor with. There’s nothing magical about sitting on the floor, but I like being at the same height as the coffee table which is where I have all the accoutrements of my meditation practice – candle, Tibetan singing bowl and hourglass.
The hour glass is actually 15 minutes which is all I can manage right now. I feel virtuous if I do 15 minutes and downght self-righteous if I turn it over and do 30 minutes.
The meditation space is beautiful. I worked to make it so. Beauty is an important value to me. There is beauty in fine fabrics, symmetry, black sand falling through delicate glass.
Meditation will be good for me. I can feel myself coming back to myself already.

goddess bless your needing heart.
So glad that I subscribed to you via email, because your title led me to this beautiful post. I joined a weekly meditation sangha two years ago and love it. But I was only meditating there. I’ve recently committed to every day here at home, and am able to accomplish 15-20 minutes a sitting. I long for a place of beauty such as you have here. It is my goal. I, also, have a hurt psyche these days ~ so meditation and touching base with like-minded people are so important.
(Am going to see if you are on facebook and if I find you I’ll send a friend request. Look for someone with the middle name of Lydia.)
Bless us one and all…..
Oh thank you, Lydia! I think we’re kindred spirits! Welcome. –Connie
