Starting out I'm feeling stressful as usual, probably 7 on a scale from 1 to 10. I'm also extremely worried about several things, including school work, getting a job, most things college seniors worry about. Let's see how the meditation help.
----------15 minutes later------------
Just got done meditating. I decided to start with 15 minutes and work my way up. I did as my books said and decided to sit in an upright crosss legged position with my back up against the headboard of my bed. I started by focusing on my breathing. Everytime I heard a noise I noticed it and then came back to the breathing. Also, everytime I had a thought, when I realized it I went back to focusing on the breathing. Several times I almost drifted off to sleep, which makes me think it would be better to do this in the morning. I also had several times when I was distracted by pains in my legs but going focusing on the breathing helped ot bring my mind back.
Overall I can see that this could be a good way to practice and improve your concentration. So hopefully at the end of the month I'll see an improvement in that. I felt relaxed while doing it but not really anymore so now. My pulse also didn't lower at all. Maybe next time I'll have someone take it while I'm meditating.
I'll be back later with another meditation session and some fun facts and research about meditation.
