Week #2 Progress Check

Congratulations, you are more than halfway through Week #2 already! 

At this point in time, you may be noticing a little bit more control, but worries and other preoccupations are still creeping in…if a little less frequently. That’s OK. Really! I promise! 

This week you have been practicing the body scan. This is my favorite! I like it because it gives your brain very specific points of focus, and that is great for monkey minds like mine! Here again, you may be thinking you aren’t having any success at all! I’ll bet you are wrong! I’ll bet that almost none of you have ever once noticed the subtle twinges, the tingles, the electrical impulses that course through your body with every breath of your being. I bet you never really felt your being quite this way at all. 

We are made of stardust; the heavens are within us! 

At this point in your practice, you may well be struggling with isolating your focus on just one specific body part such as your feet or your calves. That is to be expected! You are more likely able to hold in your awareness larger areas of your body like your feet and your legs. But I bet that when you arrive at your face, you notice twinges and tingles that you had no idea were there when you believed you were trying and failing to focus on the soles of your feet! Am I right? THAT is success! 

So be patient my friends. Life is about the journey. Life is about. . . the Now. 

See you next week. In the meantime, enjoy the NOW!
