Meditation

As a teenager, I can sometimes be frantic, unfocused, stressed and anxious. Luckily, I was introduced to meditation. I love meditation and the way it makes me feel - solid. So, how does it work? First I set a 15 minute timer and get prepared to look a little foolish. I sit somewhere comfortable, cross-legged. I close my eyes and focus on a point in the center of my forehead between my eyes, relax my mind, and think only of the sound of OM. When your mind wanders, just go back to OM. Existing in that territory of nothing there is a silence that must be listened to. You end up giving sharp attention to nothing. It is simple, compelling and satisfying. When you’re done, a new stillness will remain in your mind. p.s. I write short stories too =]
