By means of meditation we can teach our minds to be calm and balanced; within this calmness is a richness and a potential, an inner knowledge which can render our lives boundlessly satisfying and meaningful. While the mind may be what traps us in unhealthy patterns of stress and imbalance, it is also the mind which can free us. Through meditation, we can tap the healing qualities of mind. - Tarthang Tulku

Yeah. I should meditate soon.

yeah, me, too. every now and then i sit and be still, but rarely do i get to a meditational state.

mostly, when i sit and be still, logan floods my mind. i realised last night that the fear of being "there" with him and not making it back stops me from being there. if that makes sense. i can *feel* him, i can find him, be with him, but i'm not so sure i would be able to come back afterwards. i think my body would just give up while i was there. so i stay here. i figure that the other side is timeless, so the time i spend here, doing the mother thing, won't really be anything. once i'm there, anyway.

or something haha.

Yeah I get it. Do you really think you'd lose all will to come back? Logan's gone but you still have LoKe and Jiana-peace. Maybe they could anchor you.

i don't know. it feels like i would have to let go of here so much to be able to be there, that i would let go all together. i'm too scared to give it a try. if what i feel is right, it'd be kinda too late to do anything about it!

i get to be with him a bit still, but i just don't let myself go too far. "the space inbetween" !!

I haven't even hardly tried to sit and be still in ages.

I'm not sure, I just, can't seem to focus on anything for more than a few minutes. So every time I get the feeling that I might go and try and sit quietly, something else pops up in my head and distracts me, and keeps me from it. I think I have some sort of block.

you should definitely sit and be still at least occassionally. it gives everything inside a chance to readjust and make sure it's in the right place. being outside by a big rock or a tree might be easier for you.

I know. I should. I just, don't seem to be able to for some reason. I have a block.
