I was able to actually sit with my eyes closed for 30 minutes today.
I did a lot of daydreaming but always remembered at some point to go back to my mantra.
My mantra is based on a vibration of the universe on the date and time I was born. From Primordial Sound Meditation. It is just a simple instrument of my mind to help me meditate. I think I was able to say it 3 or 4 times before my mind drifted away, but I was able to sit there for the whole 30 minutes, a good start!
I'm in pain and need to go to sleep...
