Meditation Challenge - 60 days

Woke up early and got my 10-minute meditation done. I had somewhat better focus today even though it wasn't great.

Day 2.

 

Exactly the same for me!
Day 1.

 

Day 3: 30 min of OM chanting and Reiki meditation.

 

Another meditation session of 10 minutes this morning. My focus was slightly better today.

Day 3.

 

I do meditate for quite a while (few months), sometimes I skip a day or two and then habit is weakening, but in some days it's hard to meditate I can tell you (but if you have strong self-discipline it's not much of a challenge). Lately, I found it harder to concentrate on meditation and I tend to finish earlier.

 

Day 4: today I've chanted some prayers and had a Reiki meditation (hatsurei ho) for 30 minutes.

 

day 2

10 min mediation +10 min on chanting

 

Same as yesterday.

Day 4.

 

I'm in for it ... Starting today ...

 

Day 3

10 min meditation + 10 min om chanting.
(Got up at 3:30am as usual).
Though I really wasn't able to focus.

 

Nice dude! Do you really get up at 3:30 am though? I get up at 5:00 am and I thought that was early. Would love to know what your sleeping schedule looks like.

 

Day 5: today only 10/15 min of prayers and silent meditation.

 

I felt pretty chilled and cold after my ice shower so my focus during the meditation wasn't great. I did it though so that feels good.
10 minutes done.

Day 5.

 

Yeah! 3:30
It is 10th class board exams that keeps me on. But now that they are almost over I will still keep going because its really good. Saves a lot of time.

Well I sleep at 10:00pm -10:30pm usually. When I sleep at day time (which I usually don't) then its 11:30 or 12:00pm (although I wake at 4:30am after sleeping at 12 or 11).

Well here is the catch!
You cannot really get up at 3:30 by your alarm.
Try 'Alarmy' app.
I have to go to my kitchen to click a pic of my switch board to turn the alarm off (no other method to off it anyway!).
After that I drink some boiled water and then meditate (20min) followed by studies (3hrs).
I have been waking up at 3:30 for one month now although I started meditation 4 days back.
I'd recommend you to try it. Its not difficult AT ALL!

 

Day 4

Everything usual.
Was not able to focus much while meditating. Any help? Do you do guided meditation? Open to all suggestions!

 

That's awesome! You seem very commited, I might give this a shot some time in the future.

 

I don't do guided meditation anymore but there are tons of stuff on Youtube. Apps that are good include; Headspace and Calm but these both cost money (they have some free content). Don't know about any free quality apps for guided meditation. Hope it helps a little.
