Meditation Method
It seems like the age old method of meditation works for millions around the globe. I don’t disagree but I find I could never wrap my head around the idea of “quieting,” the mind. Who has the clarity or patience?! It seems whenever I would sit down to try and attempt to meditate tiny little voices would pop into my head saying, did you start the dryer? Did you turn off the stove? Are François and Alix coming to dinner this weekend? I mean, every insignificant thing would pop into my head when I was supposed to be clearing it. That is until, I decided to give my mind something to focus on. I decided to light my favorite candle and simply stare into its flame. Maybe I’ll have avocado toast for lunch...Nope. Flame. And I would redirect my every thought back to the flame. Simple, but very effective.
