I recently set several fitness / wellness goals for the next year. Among them:
- run 4 times / week
- practice yoga 3 times / week
- swim 1-2 times / week
- begin practicing meditation
I was on track with everything but the meditation, so yesterday I looked around iTunes for related podcasts. I found...many. I'm a beginner, so I want guided sessions. So far, I've checked out...
Meditation Oasis
Episode: Mini Break for Work or Study (9:07)
Good for physical relaxation, though if I were pulling an all-nighter, it might put me to sleep.
Meditation Station
Episode: Evening Inventory (11:45)
Asks you to review your day for instances when you felt or exhibited resentment, fear, dishonesty, or selfishness. Although I can appreciate this exercise, I'm looking for a sequence to help me empty my thoughts, not create more thoughts. I might do this one once a week.
After writing today, I'll try this one:
Learn to Meditate
Episode: Class 1 - Meditation for Beginners (18:56)
Do you meditate? Do you use a guide or go it alone? Where do you practice? What sorts of benefits do you notice from your practice?

I try to sit for five minutes every morning, but I could use something to listen to so that I can stop them from becoming a way to inventory my day.
I think I'm going to look for some meditation music
There's a lot to be had on iTunes. It all depends on how you'll use it. I'd like one to help me clear my head and one to help me practice focus.
