I start to feel the effect of the habit of taking the Challenge.
Whenever I start walking I feel more present and more attentive to things flowing around me, my mind is cleaner and the voices of daily thoughts, although still present, become lower and less invasive.
Today I had a 15 minutes meditation start and some troubles in relaxing again. I feel 15 minutes are not enough, I should try 30 minutes more consistently, in order to reach the emptiness of mind that I crave.
When I got out for the daily walk, I decided to take the route for Calton Hill one more time. During the full moon days it was so intense and powerful to be there that I feel like it’s still talking to me. I decided I will try to repeat this route for the rest if the week, and notice the differences of the place every single day as they develop themselves out.
Today, going up to the Hill I noticed the flowers opening up, the birds flying i couples and breathed in the strenght of the summer. On my way up I saw a busker that was playing there for the first time. I listened to his song, who was speaking of love and longing, and it stirred me and filled me up, and all the annoying thoughts I was having were gone for the rest of the 30 minutes.
I just really enjoyed the rest of the day. Will do 15 more minutes meditation before sleep and I will try to hold this peacful feeling as long as possible.
