My daughter has a cold at the moment, so I spent much of last night seeking slumber on the couch. I also have a concert to play tonight in a place about an hour’s drive from home, so I will have to be alert until quite late. The upshot of this is that this morning I did not meditate as long as I normally do. I need to conserve my mental capacity for the concentration that will be necessary for tonight. In this respect, I feel like there is a parallel to be drawn between meditation and physical exercise. It truly is a challenging mental work-out to attempt to concentrate so intensely every morning. On days of intense meditation, in the afternoon or evening, I often feel that my mind is fatigued. I think in fact that a day off per week to recuperate is productive.
I will have to catch up with a longer post tomorrow or on the weekend, as I have a few things to do still before I have to pack up and get ready for tonight’s performance.
More to come soon…
