Journal Entry, Oct. 2023 - My first time

Woke up early to start my meditation practice. The house was quiet and the sun wasn’t up yet.

I turned the little light on behind my chair (my chosen place to start meditating) I set my timer for 15 minutes.

I crossed my legs and placed my right hand over my left. I closed my eyes.

I began to say “Wahe Guru” in my head. By the 3rd time I said it, something unexpected happened.

Through the silence of the house I heard my son’s Alexa start talking. But nobody is awake. All of a sudden Dream a Little Dream of Me started playing.

It’s actually an eerily beautiful song but the fear of not knowing why Alexa started talking to someone and then began playing that song scared me.

I sat there listening. I listened to the whole song. I decided that was enough meditation for today.
