Directional meditation

When I'm bored in a day, I look to what I call 'directional meditation'.

I lay on my bed like this...





- I might cross my legs, I might not, it doesn't matter how you lay, just I find it useful with my hands in the gay way they are for some reason. Of course, close your eyes.


My mind is a lot more focussed when I'm doing this meditation. Meditation is by it's nature "To think or reflect, especially in a calm and deliberate manner."

My thoughts are all hemmed towards the problem. Usually I think of what I should be doing in the day; that is normally when I find myself at the computer, knowing about my disorganised life, but not quite knowing where to begin to put it on the right path again.

I see this as an incredibly simple thing to do if your confused about what direction it would be good to take about something. I say "direction" because it's not possible to figure everything out, so then, it's a set of directions I'm meditating for, not intricate steps of what to do.

To me, it seems like a really helpful thing to do at some point in the day if you want to. I'm not saying spend hours on it, or even tens of minutes - I'm normally done in about 8 minutes.
