27 minutes at bedtime

There sure are some early (read shallow) layers of my subconscious where meditation 🧘‍♀️ has begun taking place without distractions. The conscious waking mind brings up recently collected memories. These memories, I have noticed, are events that want a little bit more of my attention than what I gave them when they occurred. These are easy to dismiss while meditating. They were not easy to dismiss at will, when I began my practice about 2 decades ago.

A few years back, the very onset of the subconscious would make me abandon meditation and flop on the bed. What I have realised is that when the meditation gets a little deeper than the rational waking level, one dips into one’s own subconscious. Even at a shallow level, the subconscious can yield power.

The power of habit is a strong one. The subconscious of a person who has never meditated before is difficult to change. Thankfully, this stubbornness gives way to something more pliable. With diligence, the subconscious does accept the meditation technique as a part of it.

The deep side of the subconscious continues to be my everyday battle. With diligence, I pray to get past this level. With diligence I hope to extend my meditation roots beyond the large rocks of the deep subconscious. So help me God.
