Meditation Challenge: Day 3

An excerpt from a message sent to the 30-Day Meditation Challenge group today, June 3

Here is today's inspiration:

It takes courage to sit well...We have to be willing to do something that is not easy...As we sit, we find that the primary thing we must work with is our busy, chaotic mind. We are all caught up in frantic thinking and the problem in practice is to begin to bring that thinking into clarity and balance. When the mind becomes clear and balanced and is no longer caught by objects, there can be an opening--and for a second we can realize who we really are.

--from Everyday Zen: Love and Work, Charlotte Joko Beck, 1989
Keep up the good work!
