Welcome to the SIMC Daily Meditation Support for Jan 2016

By | December 21, 2015

Dear friends,

Welcome to the Saskatoon Insight Meditation Community Daily Meditation Support for January 2016!

Starting January 1, 2016, look for a daily email to give you a little bit of extra inspiration to maintain a daily meditation practice.

Each email may contain one or more of the following tips:

  • A quote or a poem
  • A link to a guided meditation or dharma talk
  • A “stealth” meditation you can do anywhere and anytime

The general guidelines, to help you feel accountable:

  • Even five minutes of meditation counts as a day you’ve meditated. It’s best to aim for doing more than that each day, but five minutes is your emergency fall-back position.
  • You can meditate anywhere: as you’re waiting for an appointment, in your car while sitting in a parking lot, or a park bench (okay, that might be a little chilly this time of year) — anywhere.
  • For the purposes of this challenge, a “day” is the period between getting up and going to sleep again. So if you can only manage five minutes after midnight, you haven’t blown it: you’ve still meditated.

I would like to encourage you to join the forum I have set up for this adventure: https://www.grzesina.net/meditation. The daily emails will be archived here, as well as links to various resources to support you in your practice..

If you have questions or issues, please email me at amgrzesina@gmail.com.

I look forward to practicing with you!
Andrea G
