Meditation Helps When Unexpected Events Interrupt our Lives

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with KD Realty - 408.972.1822 CA DRE#01366594

With the many life challenges I am facing these days I determined that I need to start meditating on a regular basis once again. 

My commitment began on Monday, October 31, 2011.  Since then, I meditated one hour every day. I’m so proud of myself for not allowing anything to take priority over my time to meditate.   

Yesterday during a guided meditation, wearing headphones, about 10 minutes into it a loud screeching sound began to emanate from my Dell Inspiron laptop, which is only 10 months old new.

Needless to say, the sound scared the holy begesus out of me.  I could not get the sound to stop.  My only option was to force a shut down. 

I could not get my PC to restart successfully. Each time I tried I was welcomed by the horrific screeching sound. 

I called Dell tech support.  Long story short apparently the operating system was corrupt.  Solution:  Re-install the operating system. 

Ten hours later, I am mostly up and running, except for Outlook. 

Meditating really helps with handling these unplanned events that take up so much time and cause a negative impact (thankfully temporarily) on business.

I missed my meditation yesterday. Even the PC "crash" won't stop me from continuing to meditate every day. 

 

After working on the PC for 10 hours ... it is definitely time to unplug from the PC and meditate.   I'll be back at the PC working on restoring Outlook at 8:00am.

I am definitely visualizing full restoration.

Kathleen, it looks like meditation is working for you...a corrupt operating system after only 10 months is just unbelievable. Best of luck with the computer and continued success with the meditation. I think I might try meditation. Thanks for sharing!

Kathleen,

Hang in there, you will get it reinstalled but never without a few obstacles.  Long time since I had to do that but I would need a month or more of meditation to prepare myself for the exercise.

Okay...my only question is why in the world you were meditating near your laptop?  When I do something like that, I go to the place in the home with no technology.  Nothing to beep, flash, ring or crash.

As for your ordeal, I feel your pain.  There's a ton of stress when you see your worklife flash before your eyes as the computer crashers.

Carlotta, I began meditating many years ago. Like many things I start I failed to stay with it.  Knowing how much it does help me find peace and blissfulness, I am back at it again.  Thanks for stopping by.

Marge, I am so done with PCs.  I will be buying a Mac soon and begin to make my transition to the Mac World.  Thanks for your comment.

 

Chris Ann, LOL, I signed up for a home study course with Steven Sadlier of the Self Awareness Institute.  These meditations are guided meditations. I studied with Steven many years ago ... spending several days in Sedona, Arizona meditating – without technology :-0
