The edge of Ideas. The edge of Connections. The edge of the Unknown. And... in 2020... reading my way (again) through a hefty list of World-Changing books.

P.S. Meditation
Hmmm... I just realized yesterday's blog post really didn't talk much about meditation! Anyhow... I am beginning to sense that taking the time for quiet.... taking a meditation class... getting down to the basics... all of those things are necessary for my own well-being and balance... I have resisted that sort of stuff in the past, seeing it as a waste of time... Remember, I'm all about doing... not being... But, this book by Deepak Chopra (Reinventing the Body, Resurrecting the Soul) speaks of different ways of meditating... And I think there are a lot more options out there than I had realized... Walking meditation--like that idea!! Journaling meditation--like that idea too! Sitting meditation--but with different options that make it sound a lot more palatable... Maybe the truth is, I've had a story about meditation and that story hasn't always been true or accurate... That's one of those things I know I should be doing... and yet haven't been doing... Time to stop that and get cracking don't you think?? Does anybody have a similar experience?? How do you meditate?? It doesn't have to be just the Buddhist way... there are probably all sorts of Christian ways of meditating as well...

There's the Ignatian Method that emphasizes the "5 P's" and I do not remember them all:Place, Passage, Posture?? Maybe you can find it on the internet. This was the very first method I learned and it's great for beginning meditators. Also you might want to try meditating on a night walk or meditation outside during a storm(not during an electrical storm!) glad that you are exploring1
Yeah, google 'Ignatian meditation', Gigi..I found all kinds of interesting stuff...
