It was warm sitting by the window today! After any prolonged session of meditation or focus (like the formal meditation and BDS today) I felt very warm. I blame the windows.
Unfortunately, this BDS was not as positive or successful as my last one. Throughout the entire process I stayed mostly keyed into my posture, but not so much my breath.
I was a tad put-off by the shortened (basically non-existent) time spent focusing on the breath and calming our minds before beginning our BDS's.
Length of BDS: 25 minutes, split into 3 sections - 2 of ten and 1 of 5 minutes, with minimal breaks between each
I still am not convinced of the positive power of these breaks. They just proved to be a distraction for me. I am all centered and focused on what I'm doing and BAM - there's Donna's cell. So startling. I certainly understand and appreciate the relaxing and rejuvenating affect of a break, but there must be a better way (at least for myself) to carry out the act.
As far as content, I feel like I became discouraged by a lack of focus or sources (possibly both) in regards to my religions paper.
Let's see what a BDS on my own shapes up to be, eh?
Cheers fellow meditators
