They are having some serious disputes etc. He wants a divorce because in the 24 years they've been married, she hasn't changed one bit. But then again, neither has he. So she comes home last night and she tells me "I went to the doctors today"... *pause*...
So I said "for any particular reason?" She said "yeah... I found a lump in one of my breasts." I'm thinking oh shit. Not good. Then she says "I also found one in the other." Double Whammy.
So she breaks down and says that the doctor confirmed it. I look at her like confirmed what? A lump or cancer? She said a little further into the conversation "I have to go in next week for a detailed analysis." So I figured it's just a lump for now.
So we are talking for a while etc. I know the past few months have been rough and stressful. So I ask her "Have you ever considered meditating?" Now she gets REALLY defensive and says "I MEDITATE IN MY OWN WAY. THROUGH PRAYER!"
I'm thinking to myself Clearly she is misguided in what meditation actually is...
So I tell her that contrary to popular belief, meditation is not a spiritual experience. I'm not trying to dissuade you from your beliefs or anything. Believe me, I would never do that. What I am getting at is that it's an effective way to relieve stress and calm the nerves. Praying lasts only a few seconds, maybe a few minutes. Meditation can last as long as necessary. Blah blah blah.
My point here in this is that I would like to try to get her to do at least one session of meditation with me because I'm certain it will help her mind tremendously. How do I go about doing this without her blowing up again?
