30-day meditation challenge! A chill place to challenge yourself and improve your practicce. Keep on meditating and best wishes!

This is a subreddit dedicated to daily meditation practice. Typically people promise to meditate every day for a certain period of time (like 30 days) and post their daily meditation times and experiences. Let us know how you found us!

GENERAL GUIDELINES: when we begin, pick a length of time you feel you can commit to every day. Now could be a good time to add, gradually or all at once, minutes to your practice if you have one.

If you're brand new, it's a good idea to start small, maybe 5-10 minutes, and add 5 minutes each week. Don't do too much; don't do too little. You know what's right for you.

POSTING GUIDELINES: by all means, discuss problems, ask questions, and bring up confusions. That said, meditation is an internal experience, and it's somewhat detrimental to your practice to try to describe in words each and every sensation that comes up. So feel free to simply check in with how many minutes you sat for each day.

Days 3 and 4

I ended up not having very much time to myself yesterday or today, but I’m still proud that I was able to sit for at least ten minutes. :) I have been really nervous today in anticipation of a work event, and sitting has made my mind so much clearer and calmer.

May Quiet Sit Thread

Please feel free to use this check-in thread with commenting if there's any reason you don't want to start daily threads for yourself (for example, maybe you can't sit daily, you just want to test out a period of sitting shorter than 30 days, or you just don't want it to pop up for subscribers). I'll still be monitoring this thread but I'll keep personal comments to a minimum unless requested. Best wishes for your practice!

Day 1

Haven’t posted here in a while! I sat for 10 minutes today. The weather has been lovely so I spent that time outside. Definitely a great choice— feeling very clear-minded

Day 13

Sat for 15 mins today. Session felt peaceful but at the same time seemed to drag.

I have noticed I have my stuff together lately. Things just feel like they flow better in my life. I don't know the reason, maybe it's age, maybe it's the practice, but I am glad I committed to doing this.
