Orb Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 Over here meditation tends to occur at times where it feels perfect to meditate, usually after a workout or a cup of coffee. Which is better, meditating when it feels perfect or meditating no matter what? Quote Mention "Mediocrity is gone. Mind is clear of limitation. I seek no state of enlightenment. Neither do I remain where no enlightenment exists. Since I linger in neither condition, eyes cannot see me. If hundreds of birds strew my path with flowers, such praise would be meaningless." - A Comment on the 8th Ox Herding Picture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orb Posted September 2, 2022 Author Share Posted September 2, 2022 @nurthur11 self inquiry. Focusing on sensation, if there's getting lost in thought a question is asked and then back to sensation.

Forza21 Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 For me, meditation when you feel really terrible is most fruitful. it's a wonderful time to inquire, for example : What is suffering? What do i actually feel without thought narrative about it? is this experience good or bad if i don't think about it? What thoughts cause my suffering? What is thought? what you can notice, that suffering melts like ice cub in the sun, when seen through lens of awareness...😄 Quote Mention Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
