Going pro on Meditation

 Last Sunday I went ro the one hour meditation. I arrived exactly at 4pm start time to which I realized that they started because everyone already had their eyes closed  

I thought maybe the schedule changed and it started at 3:30?

Anyway, so I quickly seated myself and closed my eyes. We did the usual - breathing meditation and then loving kindness meditation. Then the Bante (monk) said we’re done and I was so surprised because I felt like it had been only 30 minutes but when I looked at the time it was 5:01pm! Time felt fast, so different from the last time. I wanted it to be longer…I wanted to stay some more…

Nevertheless, I am amazed that now one hour of meditation for me is almost effortless. I guess this is what happens after one year of meditation practice, which I guess is how it’s supposed to be? I hope so.
