A real breakthrough with meditation                 Last week I posted an article that I had written in April of last year.   In it, I explained how my new journey in meditation was going and described what I thought of as a breakthrough.   In it, I explained that I had started with only a few breathing cycles and was building up duration and was up to 3 minutes.   I was really proud of myself, and I had every right to be.   Now, almost a year later, still working on improving my meditation I had what I can sincerely describe as a true breakthrough.                 I am currently up to 12 minutes almost every morning.   If I am unable to meditate before my girls are up and my opportunity for focus has evaporated, I take the time to meditate at the office.   I sit on my adjusting table and do the same t...
