I'm trying to imagine how I could set this up so that I actually do it, every day. What I'd like to do is spend half an hour in silence, doing something that's good for my soul. This something could be: walking (or just being) outside; sitting in my room (I wouldn't call this meditation, but you might); coloring a mandala; doing some yoga.

Right now I'm thinking, first thing in the morning. On the mornings when I can't do that, at the first opportunity that arises depending on the day's circumstances.

But that's all subject to change. :)

I'm hoping to do what I call Prayer Walking but could be called Meditative walking. Or some such ( ... )

i am trying to think of whether i want to do the SAME thing each day, or just SOMETHING each day. Somethings that appeal to me are: Yoga, balance-small-dance, listening to music in trance space, progressive relaxation, breathwork. Maybe throwing cards or objects-as-runes to guide those things.

I am planning to do sitting meditation and prayer and possibly mantra work.

I am expecting that this will provide me extra juice and support for my existing daily practice. It currently consists of seated meditation and Feri tradition prayers everyday. I've been sporadically adding running Iron Pentacle to this practice and I'd like to get more consistent about that. I used to also include making kala much more often than I do now, and it would be nice to add that back in. When I have time, I use the quiet focus I get after my regular practice to do thinks like guided meditations or spiritual reading. Oh, and I've pretty recently added tarot study once a week.

I recently discovered that a good way to get myself to actually show up for this every day is to put it on my calendar. There are some mornings that are just too hard for me to get to the zafu and especially for those days having pre-selected a time later in the day to do the practice helps me to make it happen.
