And developing meditation skills can only be a good thing, though I suspect that it will take some time. But, hey, I've got plenty of that left on the rowing maching with this challenge! <BR/><BR/>Thanks for the tip, whoever you are, and great to know there are others out there dipping into my blog-world. <BR/>Colin365'erhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08837477269168191942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-973041654031800435.post-89870211862113131192008-11-10T07:41:00.000+00:002008-11-10T07:41:00.000+00:00I recite the 7 "I am" meditations from Frederich R...I recite the 7 "I am" meditations from Frederich Rittelmeyer's book, Meditation. If it is a short row of 45 minutes, I alow 5 minutes to each mediation, it is an hour and a half, I alow 10 minutes to each one. The final mediation takes three breathing cycles to recite, so I alow 15 minutes or 30 minutes depending upon the length of the row. I find that this helps me hold a constant pace, it takes my mind off of the time, it allows me to focus on the breath as I mentally recite them with the recovery stroke. I am very calm mentally afterwards too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
