Hello and Welcome to week 5 of my Meditation Journey!

Week 5 is about assessment.

Week is 5 is all about assessment! Assessing my meditation progress, assessing my free inquiry process! Assess, assess, and reflect! Reflections coming in a future blog post near you!

Assessing meditation sessions qualitatively! As we all know and remember qualitatively is being described with descriptors and quantitatively means being described with numbers! Now we all know meditation is about the process and not the result. Or at least that’s how I view meditation!

Now I choose to assess my meditation sessions this way because I thought it would be too time consuming and difficult to break down my meditation sessions into numbers and I am meditating to get in touch with myself not stress myself out. Just like my planning I kept meditation extremely simple as I did not want to create any reason for me to avoid meditating or make it some what of a chore.
The way I have been assessing my mediation has been assessing my mood or mental state before and after I meditate. I will be using 3 categories for describing mood, Neutral, Positive and Negative. 

Meditating with expectation can throw off the process. It is more process orientated than goal oriented.

I will honestly save I experienced every combination. Some days I was feeling blissfully ignorant and meditation brought reality crashing in and some times I was feeling irrationally negative and meditation helped me see the positive. Many days there was no change what so ever.

Till next time,

IROSS
