1. Centering Thought: "There is a way I can fulfill my true purpose in life."
2. Mantra: Om Varunam Namah (Sanskrit)=My life is in harmony with cosmic law (English).
I experience joy when I wake up in the morning to go to work. I am happy to go to work. It is my dream to teach English at a community college. I love being with my students talking about writing, talking about their papers, and talking about life. I love when we get deep in conversation.
It is joyful to hear students speaking to each other about their papers. It is joyful when I see some one's eyes glimmer because they learned something new or figured something out. It is joyful to be the person facilitating a person's growth as a writer.
I can move closer to joyfully living my dharma by focusing my intention on writing. I can put all of my energy into writing. I can write about writing. I can teach more. I can collect data about writing. I can survey my students to find ways to communicate my message of mental liberation through writing. I can read more books. I can get more training teaching writing. I can go to workshops. I can pursue a PhD in rhetoric and composition. To move closer to joyfully living my dharma I can love and accept writing.
During the Meditation:
I was not focused at all today. i opened my eyes twice. I lost he mantra, and I allowed my mind to wander; both times that happened I opened my eyes.
I feel like I have found my purpose. I feel like I just have to live it more. Maybe that is why I was so resistant to meditation today. I was up around 6:00am and I waited until now almost 7:00pm to do the meditation. I just did not want to meditate today.
But, I am glad that I did. I am staying the course.
