Location: boyfriend's brother's house, rug on hardwood floor
Distractions: boyfriend in bed in same room, going to pee, then going back to bed; discomfort from lying on the hard floor; cold temperature
Words on tape that caught my attention: "oxygenated blood"
Wandering thoughts: can't remember any specifically
Comments: I had a very different experience on my second time through the body scan - namely, the base of my spine grinding into the floor for 42 minutes. I was on a rug, but I was still quite uncomfortable the entire time, a very different problem than I had had on my first go-round. I went back and read the book after this experience. Kabat-Zinn acknowledges this problem, and pretty much tells you to just follow the meditation. Not terribly helpful. He does suggest "minor shifts in your position," so maybe I won't torture myself on an uncomfortable surface next time.
