I've been out of the habit of mediating daily for too long. Been meaning to get back into it. Started on vacation, in part to help make up for the lack of sleep. But I didn't keep up when I got home, in part because of the overwhelming sleep debt. Just gave it a good half hour. I didn't realize how much I needed it.
Back when I was practicing regularly, I could find peace in a single breath. Now I can feel the edges of it after a while, but that's about the best I can do. Which is surprising, despite how long it's been.
Also, for most of the time just now, it felt like my head was in a vice. A combination of the lack of sleep and feeling things ease that I wasn't even aware had been building up. Yet, despite the pressure and pain, I felt calm.
It's going to be a long road back, but I know I'm on the right path.
