Meditating.....

I've heard and read some about meditation many times. It sounds like a good thing to do and it also sounds a lot like I do without even realizing it. That is, until now. I didn't realize it because my meditation takes a form unique to me because I've been the only available person to think this over with me. It started when I noticed a news brief that said it's good to take a nap in the afternoon. Well, I've been doing this for a while so I assume that I'm ahead of the 'baby boomer' great idea of the moment. Here's how I got started with my version of meditating. After all, meditating can be various things to various peoples. I usually start by sitting in my recliner shortly after a satisfying meal and start to watch an old black and white movie. Although I have done this with many recent movies, television shows and news programs and gotten the same result. While I'm watching I start to wander within my memories, letting go of the now and enter into a place that's different. The transition to my nap takes place and I drift between places until I awaken to find out that, indeed, I am alive and back where I started. After this startling revelation I feel re energized and ready to watch more television.
