I’ve heard the only wrong way to do yoga and meditation is to get mad at yourself for not doing it “right.” Self-chastising does seem pretty antithetical to quietude and oneness and all that good stuff, so I try to just be glad I’m even attempting it. Happy meditating (or whatever it is we’re doing) to you!

I meditate the same way – I think of it as “thought watching” because I’m pretty such it’s not REAL meditating, searching for the inner blue light and all that.

But my yoga instructor tells me there is no wrong way to do yoga, or to meditate, so I’m hanging my hat on that.

And YES. So many great ideas pop through the thoughts of grilled cheese sandwiches and how I’m going to get both kids to soccer games that start at the same time. It’s starting to feel like roots under my creativity, even despite me.
