Types of Meditation

@Kookee I love that list. I've already listened to a couple. I think a lot about the end and meditate on the end and resurrection by reviving second-hand jewellery. I've been doing it for about a year now, as something I can do at home. I love projecting onto the jewellery!

@Rachel_Scope I hope you find something you like. Based on what you said, I really think you're looking for mindfulness meditation to disconnect. If you do, maybe I can find one for you? If you do, how long would you like?

@Kookee I'm really reluctant to say disability has been good for me because it's whitewashing my disability. You know what I mean? What I'm happy to say is what a friend said to me many moons ago - everybody can do something, regardless of limitations. And I add that we all have limitations. Even without disabilities, everyone is challenged to varying degrees. So I say that I like to be productive and contribute to society, but the work I did before becoming physically disabled I could no longer do. So I'm so happy that I finally found an alternative that I can do - making jewellery. Does that make sense?

I would love to see your drawings, if you feel comfortable posting. Isn't there a thread somewhere for posting our art or something along those lines?

On the topic of meditation, I find a lot of times my head is just in the clouds and I can't focus. So I've come up with an idea to use an intermittent meditation bell - the more disconnected I am, the more frequent the bell ringing. I'm going to do it today to keep me focused as I alternate between computer work and house chores. Here they are in case anyone else is interested in giving this a try.…

Hi @Kookee

Yes, I see tons of great stuff. I'm a repeat type of person, though. I like the layers of the first Rumi video you suggested - the narrator's voice, the music and the words. Depending on my mood, I focus on one or more of the three layers. I have a ton of saved songs, albums and playlists. Once in a while I add something new to the mix. Sometimes music is just background music and sometimes it's my focus. Sometimes it's half and half. I don't know how others listen to music as I've never asked. But I always thought that's what others do. Now I'm wondering if I'm an oddball in this..... 😊
