Thanks for the interest Prabhat and Live to Learn. It seems that restless  feeling is often gives us the idea to get up and end our meditations. However it can manisfest at any time. i was at the grocery store and noticed myself getting restless waitng in line. i think that this search for God requires a lot of patience. Patience with ourselves, patience with others and patience with our search for God. We can always find ways to occupy our minds when we get restless. If we are too restless to wait in a line or meditate we can use that time praying and giving an extra effort to practicing the presence.

i also have found that being around people who are restless and worldly is a strong detriment to spiritual practice. We/i tend to not practice the presence as much and we become the vibes and aura of those we surround ourselves with. Well that's a start maybe some of you can contribute. This subject is vast in its scope. The answers and solutions might seem simple but putting it in practice is not always so simple. If we were not so restless our spiritual stature would be much more noticeable. So i have to remind myself of these things when the events and circumstances bring them out in me.
