Kirtan Kriya: Day 1

I tried the Kirtan Kriya meditation for the first time tonight. I don’t know if it’s the constant, unending deluge of media, the aftermath of New Parent Sleep Deprivation, too much noise, or a side-effect of stress, but I’ve been having trouble concentrating, my attention span is spotty, I’m impatient and crabby as all hell, and I’m becoming absent minded and incredibly easily distracted. Since I’m a parent and I run a business, I don’t see the stress letting up any time soon, so I’m trying to find ways to help myself become more even keeled and — well, sane again.

I read about Kirtan Kriya, and it seemed like this meditation might help me get my head on straight. Can’t hurt, amirite? I gave it a shot tonight, and… so far, so good. We’ll see how I feel after eight weeks of chanting!
