do you Meditate ?

Post Reply New Topic

I do it daily after my workouts.

I wondered if anyone else does?

I do too! and on days I skip it that is not particularly fun.

For Roman Catholics mental prayer and meditation are an integral part of a well-developed spiritual life...which I have not got, actually.
The rosary is based on four sets of five incidents in the life of Christ and the apostles, and those get meditated upon. Same goes for reflection, prayer, whatever.
Our "examination of conscience" before going to confession is an introspective exercise which takes on a meditative quality as we align our behavior, good and bad, with objective standards of right and wrong.

I'm Catholic; it's my identity. Race, family, country, sex, and autism and other things were not my choice, but being Catholic is a conscious choice daily to stay the course. To make it work I have to maintain it. It's nice to have those rare days when I can go by without thinking about being autistic. But I don't want to have a day where I don't think of my Catholicism. And therefore I meditate as a means of growing in love of God. Peace is there.

Meditation is very important--and if we're talking about the non-religious kind too, I like to find a quiet spot and lie on the grass but I have to cover my face with a hat because sunlight causes sensory overload.

I've been too busy for the last few years to get 'way' into it so I've been doing maybe 10 minutes every morning as a boiler plate.
