The challenge for me is still my sits. Not sitting for 15 minutes for say, but finding that one quiet spot that I could go to, away from the everyday noise, ether if it’s off TV, emails/facebook/twitter, cellphones, generally technology, Magazines, news, and other media, people talking in the other room, dogs barking, cats playing and so on. The closest way for me to eliminate that outside racket is to put on mellow music with no singing with my headphones on. However that’s a contradiction…. its still noise.
Where I am right now in my life, it’s rather hard to go into complete silence for 15 minutes, yet alone the exercise of a few days of good ol’ quiet solitude. I am all in for doing it, but trying to figure out how to make it happen is seemingly impossible at the moment.
I found it difficult at first to get the quiet time, and what I found to work was to wake up early and get my reading and sit done, before anyone else woke up and this works for me. I hope in the future you can find some time each day to just sit and be still for the 15 minutes and even take a weekend vacation of quietness.
