Opening the Door

This post is literally about opening my door during my mediations :-)

One morning, when the kids were playing and having fun on their own (see Honoring their Inner Light), I decided to leave the door open to my space during my meditation.  It was eye opening for me.  They did not interrupt me, and knew exactly where I was.  They could hear the mediation I was streaming on Insight Timer.

Before this insight, I used to close my door before I would meditate so it would be a little more peaceful.  

Now, on days where I am doing school drop off, and the kids are tuned in to their play, instead of reading a magazine, looking at social media, (or what ever other distraction I can come up with), I make use of these windows and can sneak in my morning meditation before I drop them off.

I think having them see an adult practice meditation is helpful. As time goes on, they may become curious about what I am doing and why.  Already, sometimes they ask in our conversations.
