Today I sat on a cushion, and wore my yoga pants to meditate. It was much more comfortable. But still, after a few minutes the urge to look at the timer was almost overwhelming. I varied the tempo, volume, and color of the chant to keep my mind focused on "Om mani padme hum". This seemed to work, and when the timer went off, (my iphone set to 'harp') it was a surprise.
When I cook, I am often gauging the time. This unfortunately seems to happen unbidden in the meditation. In meditation I want to fall into the fabric of the sound, and making the sound, as a field, like a trampoline- not a linear path, or beads on a string...
