Hi, healers! For those of you who aren't currently or weren't raised Catholic like I was (I no longer identify with a religious dogma), yesterday was the beginning of Lent, which often includes the giving up of or addition of something to your life for the 40 days before the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
I had a wonderful idea inspired by (but not for) the beginning of Lent to challenge myself to 40 days and 40 nights of meditation - meaning the commitment to meditate every morning and every evening for a minimum of 10 minutes each sitting. My meditation practice and I have a love/hate relationship, and I'll leave it at that. I'm just like the rest of you when I say meditation isn't my favorite practice but I feel so much better once I sit my butt down and get it done.
My intuition has been telling me that I need to deepen my meditation practice and make it more consistent, so I'm going to listen. Does anyone want to join me? Support is always helpful!
Happy Healing!

I've been doing Deepak Chopra's 30 day meditation challenge. Today is day 4! I'm loving it!!
Why follow the Christian practice of lent when you clearly do not respect the faith?
Anonymous, I respect all faiths today, I just don't follow one. And I stated it was inspired by not for Lent. Lent gave me the inspired idea to grow my meditation practice through consistency. I respect those who choose to follow religion, I just choose differently. They are all a means to the same end.
Lauren, awesome!!!
I think this is a great idea. I do celebrate Lent as a Protestant but I think no matter what your religious practices are, the 40 day season of Lent is an excellent time to pursue something positive in your life. We are also coming up on Spring which is a season of renewal (non-religious).
I am starting a free meditation class next Monday for 6 wks. as I struggle with the meditation thing. Let us know how it goes.
