Think about nothing
My granddaughter calls them hippie beads. And as far as I’m concerned she’s not that far off. I never considered myself a hippie but I did have long hair, partook in a few protests, smoked and dropped a few, but that’s about as far as I went.
One of the gemstones is intended as an aid in communication. Another gemstone is intended to aid in confidence. The blue one is a 4ocean bracelet that represents cleaning of the oceans. It’s made from plastic and garbage removed from the oceans.
Attached to that blue bracelet is a silver amulet with an image of Hanuman etched on it. Hanuman is a Hindu deity who helped one of my teachers and I wear that to represent the time I spent with him (teacher). I found the amulet on a website that said it was handmade in India – but you never really know for sure do ya. But if I believe, then that’s all that really matters right, just like if I believe the gemstones are working…

Get up
Said out loud: Thank you (insert teacher name here)
The goal of my practice is to not think. And if you think about not thinking then you’re thinking about not thinking. Even though I call this a disturbed practice it’s pretty normal for me (except the swears). Actually this one is a good one. Some are just horrible and I have stopped simply because of the activity going on in my head. But I can’t keep my mind clear throughout my entire practice no mater how good it’s going. But I can focus on the breath for most of it – and that’s what works for me.
Be safe
