My youngest sister used to write notes and push them under the door to get mum's attention while she was in there.<br /><br />As for meditating while using the bathroom - um, no thanks. I think I'd rather skip meditation time if that's the only option I had. I think I'll stick with Rellacafa's suggestion of regularly taking 5 deep breaths, although I don't think I'll be doing that in the bathroom either.Susan Whelanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18253437044745874795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8774807226689612975.post-28508555552061340482010-05-15T14:29:43.910+10:002010-05-15T14:29:43.910+10:00My latest lack-of-privacy in the loo - the CAT has...My latest lack-of-privacy in the loo - the CAT has worked out how to jump up onto the cistern and stand on the flush button.

It only takes 5 deep breaths to cause a physiological change toward relaxation, I was pretty impressed when I found that out during a short meditation course a few years ago. Now I take those whenever I remember, the idea was to take them anytime you are waiting, such as traffic lights, lifts, for the microwave... It's the quickest way to do a mini-relax that I know of :)Hayley Cafarellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03366835595019514161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8774807226689612975.post-44184849692380386722010-05-13T16:18:27.059+10:002010-05-13T16:18:27.059+10:00I've done many things over the years, aside fr...I've done many things over the years, aside from the obvious, while on the toilet. I've tied shoe laces, braided hair, signed school notes, admired drawings, watched a song rehearsal, listened to school reading, dealt out punishment to fighting children, I really haven't thought about meditating.Linda Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07529172123543772763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8774807226689612975.post-46678953432602297762010-05-13T10:34:27.094+10:002010-05-13T10:34:27.094+10:00Oh how alluring - meditating in your own stench. ...Oh how alluring - meditating in your own stench. <br /><br />We are about to gain another toilet this week.

I'm not safe in the shower either (i'm even easier to capture there) & have found that telling them i can't hear them . . . well one child turned teh water off (i was mid shampoo with eyes closed) & others have just stripped off & joined me. OMG, how can they be ready to shower ANY time??

It's probably wrong that I actually daydream wistfully about traffic jams sometimes. (Which, sadly, almost never happen ... I usually get the straightest of straight runs.)<br /><br />As for meditating in the toilet ... I call bullshit on that. It is a rarity for me to get to use the toilet for its intended purpose without company, let alone any unnecessary malingering to think deep thoughts.Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03390594937856333216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8774807226689612975.post-76713710939021780392010-05-12T08:52:29.970+10:002010-05-12T08:52:29.970+10:00Kimora's advice feels similar to that of Marie...Kimora's advice feels similar to that of Marie Antoinette about "let them eat cake" to the starving people of Paris (tho it is also highly unlikely that this phrase is attributable to her)<br />Like you, any quiet time I get is NOT going to be snatched by meditating on a toilet.<br />No, I'm far more likely to meditate whilst cleaning out the kitty litter.
