When it’s Cold… A Helpful Hint for Meditation

11 Aug 2010

I received a wonderful gift. It’s a big soft blanket. My dear friend suggested I wrap it around myself on these cold mornings when I get up to meditate. Usually I wear a shawl around my shoulders. This blanket is very warm and light. Not only can I wrap it around my whole body but I can also cover my head with it. I find doing this not only warm but also soothing. It’s like being physically cocooned in such a way that lessens even more sensory input from the outer environment. Noise is reduced immediately.

It makes good sense to do this. After all, covering the head has been a traditional practice in monasteries and convents for centuries. It’s also a symbol of withdrawing the senses from the outer to the inner world.

Thank you Elisabeth for the audio meditations, at first , I thought another site for meditatons, so what's so special about this one---- but this is by far the best, better than the cds I bought. Your voice, & the simplicity of everything is terrific.

It's working for me, I feel so calm & peaceful, I'm meditating every day now, whereas before, I'd do it & then couldn't be bothered keeping it up.

Again thank you for sharing.

I'd like to thank you, Elisabeth, for your excellent audio programs. So far i have used the 5 day trial and also met my guardian angel! The meditation was so vivid, colourful and lifelike that i've sketched (and im usually a really bad artist) my guardian angel that i met. I'm so grateful fo your work- I feel that relatively soon i will find inner peace and compassion. thank you.

I'm amazed that such a simple process can be so effective - this course made me feel great!

I felt very positive and relaxed after doing the Learn How to Meditate course. I've tried meditating before but found it difficult. I like the way your course breaks it down into bite-size chunks. I feel clearer now and confidant that meditation is within my reach.
