Where I Sat During My Meditation
I have sat in City Hall park in New York for 4 years. I started sitting in the park right after the murder of my son. City Hall park is full of greenery, flowers, water fountain and benches. I sit on the second bench on the right hand side of the park near the entrance. I sit still for 30 minutes just communing with nature, the trees, the squirrels exercising and playing. I love the sound of the water fountain. While sitting in the park I do not think about anything I just clear my head and prepare for my work day. I feel calm relax and ready for what ever comes my way. I had no clue I was bench meditating. Who knew.
What My Bench Sitting Meditation Was Like
My experience of bench sitting is peaceful for me relaxing I always like sitting in the park. When I attended college in 2001 I would sit in Bryrant park before going to class. It prepared me for the evening class with a clear head ready to receive the lesson. I have recommended bench sitting to several of my friends and family. On a nice sunny day they know I will be sitting in the park.
Lessons Learned
