Mind Full, Hands Full: Overwhelmed

For the moments when your mind is full, both hands are already carrying too much, and even meditation feels like one more thing you've been asked to do. You don't need to empty your mind. We just find a little more room around everything you're carrying. Picture yourself at your front door, hands full of bags and boxes. Out through a crowded, noisy world that feels a bit like your mind, then onto a path into the countryside and a wide clearing. There you put things down, one at a time, and let the ground carry them for a while. I do not have to carry everything at once. Rest is not laziness. You're not failing at meditation. You may simply be at capacity. Music underneath.
