The first few days of building a habit are hard–our minds and bodies naturally revolt against change–but there comes a time when you adapt to the new behavior and momentum starts to move you forward instead of push you backward.

When does this happen in Meditation? Well, we’re not going to make any wild claims about how long it takes to form the habit but we do know that it gets easier to meditate after the 11th day of daily meditation.

Hi folks. This is going to be a kind of scrapbook of things I think about and see. If you found this because of Vedic Meditation and you were hoping for some droplets of wisdom then this blog will probably be a disappointment. You should go here instead. You are however welcome to stick around, follow etc. if you need one more a daily stream of randomness in your life.
