Being Metta Lovin by Courtney Martin The truth is that my month of meditation has not led to a regular practice, but it has led to regular practice writ large. Let me explain…I dont wake up every morning, roll over, and head to sit on the mat, as I have always aspired to. Some mornings I do this, most I dont. I still dream of having a ritual of meditation that is consistent, organic, and integral to my life. I havent given that up. What I have learned to do is keep my dream alive, without beating myself up about its delayed manifestation. I have also learned to turn to meditative practices–breathing, being mindful, being metta lovin–at all kinds of moments through out my strange days. While standing at the airport waiting to board and watching the people pace and crowd, I think, Heres an opportunity to breathe, to be patient, to trust the universe that I will board when its right. Having a tool that helps me resist that group think of panic and push is an incredible gift. j.mp/MettaLovin
