"Get Up Early and Meditate" | Ajahn Dhammasiha at Dhammagiri

Ajahn Dhammasiha shares some short reflections on skilfull means of finding time for formal meditation in our busy lifes:Get up one hour earlier than normal, and ,voilà, you've got one hour time to meditate :-)In order to manage to get out of bed one hour earlier, go to sleep one hour earlier!Switch on a bright light immediately on waking, and perhaps also switch on some loud and energizing audio with chantingWe have to train ourselves with effort and commitment to overcome the defilement of 'Thīna-middha' (sloth, laziness, tiredness, indolence), and instead develop a mind that is bright, clear, awake and radiant.www.dhammagiri.org.auwww.facebook.com/dhammagiri-forest-hermitagewww.youtube.com/channel/UCJINt0JJBfFm_x0FZcU9QJwwww.tinyletter.com/dhammagiri/archive
