Wow! 45 minutes a day! I do not have a regular daily meditation practice but I do want to establish one. I meditate at random times, a few times a week and I usually end up with tears streaming down my face - like you it’s not always because I’m sad. During shavasana , this always happens to me. During my cancer journey I’ve been doing a lot of reiki and acupuncture- I meditate during both and I think it enhances the experience. I’m still trying to get those pesky thoughts to stay away when they intrude. I definitely need more practice! Thanks for an inspiring message.
I'm glad I'm not alone with the eyes leaking! You know, I worked myself up to an hour of meditation, and have recently added journaling so I cut back meditation to 45 minutes. Meditating for an hour was a decision I made and it wasn't easy, but now it's normal. Try embracing the thoughts, and they'll float away on their own. Everything is temporary, right?
I have been meditating for over a year, in 10 minute increments, and I swear it has helped me stay calm in stressful situations.... like when I am around my mother-in-law. 😉 I usually do it first thing in the morning, as a way to start my day. When I run alone, I can get into an almost meditative state too, so maybe that counts for something. Maybe someday I'll be as enlightened as you are, Ilona!

Hehe! I wish I was enlightened. That's great progress on the meditation journey. Keep up the good work!
