Today was my scheduled appointment with my therapist and we spent a good amount of time talking about meditation. I like the fact that he's supportive of me doing this and like the fact that he saw fit some months ago to cut out visits down to twice a month from weekly. Since the beginning of our time together, I've felt like he's had my best interest at heart so the fact that he's fully behind me adding meditation to my 'toolbox' is another sign that I'm with the right person. And if I get to the point where I'm able to stop seeing him completely, think he'd also be good with that. The meds are another topic but we'll get to that one of these days...
The morning meditation was another selection from Meditation Oasis and was focused on patience. I thought today being Thursday might be a day with many moving pieces so thought that thoughts of patience was a good way to start the day. Mary Maddux who is the principal guide on Meditation Oasis is rapidly becoming a favorite as her voice, guided meditations move me in the right direction. I now have the app and there is a lot of content there ranging from simple and short to meditations for children to sleep and I intend to do as comprehensive a survey of the material as is possible. At some point I'll even do something with the blog layout so that the links to these programs and websites will be easier to get to so if I mention something that sounds appealing, you'll be able to get to it.
