Like Wimbledon, sometimes you win and sometimes you lose. This morning I woke at 3.45 and thought it was too early to get up, don't you? But of course then I went back to sleep until 6.00.
The difference between meditating early and later is the difference between a country lane and a motorway as far as traffic in the mind goes. Outside everything is well on its way, people are going to work, birds are in full throat, you can hear the cars and every flower is out for the day. In the mind, you are sending e mails, writing blogs, thinking about supper and the tasks for the day ahead and you have to keep hauling your attention back on to the mantra.
It is still worth it. Meditation isn't only about peaceful meditation,and enlightenment, it is a training for the mind to become peaceful and to bring enlightenment a bit closer.
Good luck to us all.
