Types of Meditation

The "Imagine" video wasn't the one I meant to post. I think that's a cover, though the pics in the video are the real deal. Here's the one I meant to post - albeit this video may be offensive to some, considering the supporting actress ;)

@Kookee thank you so much for posting the Rumi meditation. I have listened to it every day since you posted and it's so very beautiful. I have heard of Rumi before, but knew nothing about him. Wow. Just wow. It's touched a very deep and soft part of my soul. I love also the music and the narrator's voice.

@Santosha12 did you understand my description of how to post videos? If not, I'd be more than happy to explain it a little better.

@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've could never do any craft to save my life. But I'm actually really good at this. I mean not fabulous but really good. My brain is changing so much with my disability. It's incredible. And I love doing the jewellery. So it's not just that I can do it, but I love doing it. Bonus!

@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.…
