Listen for the Silence

 So, I call this Listen for the Silence because it is very hard to do. Even when you are meditating, you might concentrate on your breathing, but even that can be noisy, making hearing the silence fleeting. 

I have been meditating for so long, that my breath automatically does it. This gave a wrong result when in a sleep apnea study and also the sleep apnea test. I was breathing just the way I usually do, and the technician told me that I was breathing wrong. 

Why is it wrong? I was trying to change the way I was breathing because of this, and just recently did I stop trying. 

Breathe in, hold, breathe out, hold. That is what I do and I do it naturally. It even helps keep my moods even. 

But, I digress. Listen for the Silence. Listen. Hard to do huh? Clear your mind. Don't let any thought get in. Don't let any thought get out. Just keep them at bay. This will help you hear the silence. No radio, TV, computer, cell phone, just silence. If you try to do this maybe 5 minutes a day, you might just get there...for 3 seconds. But you could finally hear it! Now, extend your meditation time...Good Luck.

Blogger Is Trying To Block Me

So, I go into my blog and find that the sign in part is covered and I cannot get into my blog. I just spent twenty minutes trying to get in. I hope you like my blog and continue to use it's resources. 

There are many avenues especially on the Vocabulary ABC's page. Most links are still active. 

I am not over the bad haircut that I got, but I am slowly coming into acceptance that I cannot glue it back. It will take six months to get to a reasonable length. That is much better than a year and a half.

I will be starting classes soon and hope to send my fellow classmates to this blog for smiles and giggles. The last time I did that, there were significantly more views than I had ever gotten before. 

I am in a one year master's program if I were to go full-time. But for me, I must go part-time in order to give myself enough leeway to get all the reading and homework done on time. I hope I get good grades. I need a B or better if I want that diploma. That is a tall order and hard to do. 

If you wonder where I found this one year master's program, it was at San Diego State University. There must be more one year programs out there at other Universities. You just have to know how to look. Wish me luck.
