This week was my favorite week of meditating so far. I was happily accompanied by a few friends who wanted to see what it was like to meditate. I brought my speaker to the park both days this week and had my friends come with me on both days. Although it was hard to concentrate at first since we had never done this together before, I found the post-meditating benefits to be even stronger. I finished both sessions feeling more comfortable just being myself and letting go of outside thoughts, like my Headspace teacher had mentioned. I believe this may be one of the best ways to meditate because I was able to talk about my thoughts and feelings during the meditation with others. My friends told me they felt happier and calm after joining me and mentioned how difficult it was at first to just concentrate on the person’s voice, something I had not noticed had gotten easier for me at this point as well. I hope to do more meditation sessions with my friends sometime soon again.
