Sitting meditation
This meditation session was very relaxing and successful. I started off the session with focusing on the rhythm of my breaths as I inhaled and exhaled. This helped me clear my mind from any compulsive thinking. As the session progressed my attention was very well focused on my feet, my back and arms. My mind did wonder off a couple of times and started thinking about what I had done earlier in the day but I was able to catch my thoughts and bring back my attention either to my hands or my breathing.

This session did not go so well.
