What is wrong with this?

I meditate whenever I think about it.

nothing,
being aware of mental contents as mental contents frees you from entanglements and defensiveness.

we used to imagine that "this is delusion, or illusion"
now we see it as it is, "this too is mental contents - specific brain activity - some memory, and some sensation - combined as thoughts, feelings, dreams..."

maybe 2 pages morning midday and evening
also i have started to read northerners posts
even if the reading doesn't seem to benefit it will. you can tell by your feeling afterwards
it has a slight effect of making the mind's journey to be more happy and joyful and at ease etc.

in buddhism we talk about confusion the negative emotions and suffering
we are to reduce it
and eliminate it
we can do that to some extent by meditating
the feeling tells something about it
like you can go to where it feels like you reduce it the most and sit 5 min. where you feel you reduce it

I have a question Ferdinando: Do you believe in a daily dosing schedule?

For any drugs that one might want to use or have concern for?

obviously he believes it, he is on psych meds daily, this is not imaginary.

the meditative approach helps deal with prescription meds as well as non-prescription substance use.

meditation is cool, it can go awry sometimes if taken too seriously in a not so great kinda way, but for the most part? it's very chill. :cool::thumbup:

i like best when it just happens simply bc things lead to it naturally and you just find yourself watching carefully the things in and around oneself at any given time and suck in the moment as it sucks you in, too. :snowman:

I have not found it naturally, but it is not unnatural either.

for me there is always at least some process to establish a calm seat, and then to stay present at the seat with the breath. basically restarting the process during the session.

this minimal approach makes it very easy to notice how much we actually notice and react to or not, and how much we miss as well.

I have to say, that the first 20 minutes is a bit more work than the next 20 minutes, and the last minute often I would prefer just continue - nothing lasts forever - and my legs need a break.

It can also be described as stirring the pot of our psychological makeup: often long forgotten memories surface, and we deal with them in a detached middle way.

really?

never woke up like so, or, while going about your day to day life simply fell into the groove, spontaneously found that to be what was going on without first planning it out like so, so to speak?

anywho, no biggie either way.

i opt for the minimal too, at least when it comes to formal sittings, although, some spice here and there every now and again can be pretty satisfying - even w/ the marks of existence being what they are and all that jazz.

I don't get the reference to waking up,
I was talking about sitting meditation not sleeping.

did I put in typos?

No, you didn't.  What I meant was that -

Sometimes, when I wake after having slept all night, i'll find that it's just what's already happening somehow.  It's somewhat different than most of the usual wake ups from sleep that happen, idk what causes it.

I was wondering if you'd experienced anything like that, and if so, knew how or why something like that occurs is all.
