Getting back to routine did not do full 4 drills, missed to do the two smaller sub drills, only did the the 2 majors, which is okay
So this morning my meditation composed of 4 different random thoughts and a dreaming haha
So since I did not get up early as I want did another free flow meditation. Opened and closed with my 9 deep breathes, other than that just open
Today is just a quick no direction free flowing meditation of 7 mins. Ps. Sorry for the bad recording
So I couldn’t not do a proper meditation, both segments, goes on for 8 mins fight damnn 😅
Back after so many days, with a new process where in I made this recording whil walking. Killing 2 birds with one stone. This episode wise, things went just fine, specially year looking back segment was amazing, loved it.
Interesting because I got distracted by moms call, I was angry at first but it kinda contributed to help me focus better on getting back at it. I even thought of not continuing, what a shame it would be. On top of that after around 2 weeks good to be back
So today unlike prior days, not just got disctracted in my meditation space, but my mind totally wandered off for several minutes, wandering on the training programmed this week. I shared what the possible reason may be.
Started off the meditation totally distracted for like almost 5 minutes. But beyond that went quite well, fine morning. At the end, had a bit of sharing regarding my meditation podcast series, whether the effort is worth it.
After few days of break, back at it. Today is a fine morning, not so great, not so bad.
Had a quick session but fortunately focussed. Did quick Body Appreciation — missed body part enhancement, Year lens — years lensing back, future lensing, experiencing goosebump moments, future year planning, and quick Day Plan. Lasted for almost 12 minutes. Then had an even faster podcast recording 😄
So yesterday didn’t have time to make an episode because of tight schedules, but had for almost 24 mins and but I have all the time but did for around 16 mins. To be honest today is shorter than expected, but its interesting that yesterday I was quite much in the meditative state. Though I touched upon the topic at the closing segment of the episode, but one contributor of around almost 2 mins should be because or experiencing the day’s program.
Had to restart phase 1 like 4 times, cause I want to get it done without getting distracted. Phase 1 not that a good run, phase 2 of seeing my life over the period of years I have lived plus into the future, fine run, even added the moment when I will die. After this I added phase 3, where I see into how I will spend my day, basically planning the day, seeing myself. I believe this is going to be good and a game changer lets see
So I restarted with my body appreciation 4 times because I got distracted, but after that it was a nice roll. Phase 1 went okay but phase 2 went good, around this I was hardly concious of my surroundings. This episode is without the Calm nature sound, because as I was starting the Calm app did load in phone, I did not want to open it separately, but funny, as I was stopping the Calm watch app timer after, the mobile app opened and play haha

So in this episode, I did a fast forward mode of meditation which last for barely 11 mins, I guess the shortest so far. I went through my meditation quick quick, but interestingly I was quite into the meditation with little distractions. So fine experience it is
Today is just, not a good morning. My meditation did not went smooth, bit disturbed here and there. And my enthusiasm level is just low, sad haha
A 25 mins meditation, nice. Almost did not meditate for sleeping, but fortunately decided to meditate even though I slept for less than 6 hours. This episode I decided to have a straight up un-disturbed session, so I restarted once in the first phase. As I was ending phase 1 my throat got a little itchy so I drank water, got back to phase 2, fine session, and at the end imagined/ re-living of my childhood period collectively, irrespective of year. And the third new thing is finding the two moments in my future state which can give me goose bumps. All in all very good morning, thank you me ☺️
Specially for a one after a long pause its really a good meditation session. Had an okay 1st phase specially 2nd phase, I was on a roll. And also having to learn some traffic in listening thats awesome. Good start to the day
So in this episode discussed about how I am aware of my body and surroundings much, in fact, my legs got numbed in between and have to spread my legs wide for a minute or so. At some point, yes I was mind aware but sadly are a small proportion this morning, have to improve quite on it
Good day as half of the time I was full in the awareness of my meditation, surrounding sounds were not really disturbing. It has been several days since my last recording, but as mentioned in my episode, this is life sometime we just have to take it.

So my goods news in this episode is that I hit the sweet spot of meditation. I had a good roll, so quite happy. Though not happy because of the fact that I have been absent for quite a few days. But reminds me of what one of my financial professor used to say, ‘what to do life is like this only.’ Many times in our life, things don’t go as we want, we just have to improvise as best we can
So today was quite normal with regards the flow and focus. Regarding focus, while I was in the second phase I was not even aware of my surroundings. At the end by the time I was aware I was not really aware of my surroundings an immediate thought of wanting to get done came right in interestingly.
So today is a shorter meditation than a normal day, 19 mins. Also, I was drowsy and swayed off several times. But interestingly by the time I was done, I was quite awake.
So I re-set my alarmy this morning, thought hard to sleep or to get up. Fortunately did the later, but only to have a very off hooked meditation. I even missed part of drill in both phases of the meditation. I was distracted and drowsy. And to be honest not even feeling that good post the meditation
Happy New Year, folks 😄 ... So today as I was starting I was full on distracted with a message from my immediate younger brother in our brother whatsapp group. I tried for 9 mins to get over it my meditation, using Calm nature music, but just couldn’t so stopped after that. So, create & replied my brother. But in the conclusion section to this episode, I shared my life skills and lessons, my new year resolution and 2020 takeaways.
So today had all the good experience, start off learning I had a huge spike in my listeners. As I was starting meditation in Apple Watch Calm app, out of the blue, the nature music of Calm app started playing in my phone, which I have been trying to make happen past few days, just could not. And very interestingly, add extra experience of playing badminton and enjoying nature using the nature music at the end, really great moment. PS. Today is it because I’m little excited, I’m talking faster 🤔

So today is quite a pretty normal routing meditation. I discussed a little about my life planner and life events project which I am working on parallel, though not directly related to this series, however will augment phase 2 side of meditation
So today got back up with my podcast after 2 days. Quite conscious this time, not really loving it to be honest. Anyways not a bad day though and happy keeping up for more than half a month
I was so distracted in today meditation that I have to fully restart, with all the 10 deep breaths. Before this restart I had a small reset as well and while in the meditation also I again had small small distractions like 3-4 times.
Quite the usual, but today was bored and not really elated even after getting done with the meditation. I kinda started wanting to cross 30 mins, but some way midway I was like I should not be forcing myself, it has to come naturally
Today as I was doing my meditation, I was moving across points very casually and easily. Got distracted quite a bit multiple times though. At the end I have a huge realisation & awareness of the plethora of plans I have for 2021
So getting back to have a fine session of meditation. I was down with keto flu which comes with fever, headache and diarrhoea. Fever past off earliest, headache last till last light, diarrhoea though looks a by-product like. Anyways I have a good session of meditation today, quite focussed than I expected, given 2 days break
So today I struggled with setting up Calm apple watch app for almost 10 mins, because I didn’t want the haptics and sound it gives. But post that had a really good session and had a breakthrough with the year look back session where in I reached till 1999, so I am really happy for that.

So had quite have a better morning relative to yesterday and had a good session. By the end of meditation, while I was taking my closing 10 deep breaths, it strongly flashed across my mind, like a lighting strike, for 2001 and 2000 significant moments.
My meditation is basically unfocused, couldn’t really put my mind together. At the end I discusses possible reasons. Though by the end of the meditation I was better off than the state before doing it. At the start, I had to stop and restart due to iOS clock app sleep time alarm
Shared my day meditation journey. At the start I was drowsy and not in good mood. Post getting done, however, as I went to wash my face, I felt so fresh, I have not exactly noticed it like this, it felt great. At the end, really unplanned story telling about my dad brain hemorrhagic story and the genesis of this meditation series

So in this episode of my meditation did the usual but with few new things. One I started tracking my sleep time in this ios application. Two I have my nasal blockade plus running nose problem. Three due to point two have to deep breathing with my mouth. Four is I shared my big news which in a sway my phase two side of my meditation
Today got up, was feeling really low then, was just doing for the sake of doing it. But by the end of phase 1 of my meditation I was getting the hang and starting to enjoy, which is great. Post meditation checked my vitals stats in Apple Health got to learn I was hitting high — low reading on a literal sense — to the order of 42 bpm, really beautiful. Having a great feeling.
So in this episode I shared how I have kind off started to get the hang or being good at my meditation practices and how I was at times over coming feeling winter chilled, which is beautiful. At the end of the episode, I also got to share learnings & observations I had on the potential negatives of meditation. Today I started wearing my Apple Watch as well.
