Reflection #10: Back to 7

For this blog, I decided to go back to reflection #7 where we go more in tune with the universe.  Since I have had a couple rough weeks since getting back from spring break, taking time to meditate was something I decided to try again.  With a rush of homework, projects, exams, and finishing my student teaching application, I was anxiety filled.  I knew I needed to do something before I had a small nervous break down.  I decided to sit in my room with all the lights off and the TV off.  I knew I would have complete silence because my roommate and quad mates were in class.  I sat on the floor with my legs criss-crossed.  The first time, I only sat there for 5 minutes before I got up.  That 5 minutes did wonders though.  I felt like a weights has been lifted off my shoulders.  About ten minutes later, I wanted to sit in silence again.  It's something about being in my room surrounded with books that makes me anxious.  This time, it was for a good 15 minutes, and I swear I fell asleep.  I know I said in my last reflection about this that I would try to do these meditations semi regularly, but I never had the idea of doing them really until these past few weeks.  Since I have been back from spring break, I have probably sat in silence with my eyes closed at least twice a week.  It makes me feel so much more relaxed.  Even if it is for a little, it's almost like I have more time to myself when I do these things.
