Meditation on a Hectic Day

It was a crazy day at work. So many different priorities. What seems frustrating is that most are busy works that produce no actual results. One could get really frustrated about this. I practiced patient. Take 1 thing at a time.

Went for a 10 miles solo bike ride after I got home. I felt great physically after the ride. It also helped to clear my mind. I find biking a good form of meditation. Most of the muddy thoughts in my mind settled when I ride my bike.

I did sitting meditation for 30 min as well. Haven't been doing it for a while. The first 10 minutes were really a struggle. My mind raced from 1 thing to another. My back was not comfortable. Neck was tired. Really wanted to give up and longed for the timer to sound. Probably after 15 min or so, I experienced sudden change. My mind became calm. My body relaxed. I felt the peace within. Now I wished the timer will never set off that may throw me off this state. Here I am. With nothing to do. Nothing to achieve. Just observe and experience my presence, the vast spacious of time and space. Hard to described but it felt like a breakthrough. I have a few of this experiences in prior meditation before. However, it is hard to replicate. Near the end, I slowly straighten up my back. I felt my body I never experienced before. I felt and almost visualized the movement of my spine, hip and joints. The sensation is hard to describe. Not sure what it was. Will see if this can be replicated. At the end, my feet were numbed. I have ways to go if I want to meditate for an hour or two without interruption.
