Meditation is a beautiful, powerful, spacious practice you create for yourself in order to connect to your own inner intelligence, to the divine source code that you were born with. To meditate is to align with the intelligence passed down from generations, lineages, eras, eons, past, present, and future to your heart center. Here's the purpose of meditation, how to relate to it, how to cross train, and how to meditate without an app.
Thanks, Savitree! This is helpful as I haven't thought too much about cross training and all the variations. I'm also doing a 3 min cold shower right away when I wake up and liking the benefits. I use an egg timer for timing meditation as I don't want my phone anywhere near me.
So smart to use a separate timer and not your phone. I've been using my watch, but it keeps buzzing until I turn it off, and many times I want to keep going. The egg timer solves this!
I'd love a different meditation each week. I love the idea of "cross-training," but am so new that it feels overwhelming to remember. Would you do the same meditation every day for a week, and then switch the next week? Or do a different meditation each day? Also, practical question--how do you meditate in your bed in the morning without falling asleep? I struggle so much with this!
Hi Lindsay, I'm sorry I missed these questions from you and just found them as I looked back to reference this article. How are you doing with your meditation? Do you find need to meditate in bed, and have you figured out how to do so without falling asleep?

Hi, Lindsay, yes, I like the simplicity of the egg timer, esp early in the morning so I'm not tempted to look at texts etc before meditation. :)
