Question about my meditation
    #5489698 -

I've recently started to practice meditation and already I am feeling better (nothing major thus far, but noticeable). My question isn't so much to do with the way it is done, but what I feel when I am involved. I would say about 10 minutes in my hands (which are clasped in my lap) begin to feel heavy, and slowly the feeling of this weight starts to travel up my arms. It has thus far traveled up to almost my elbows before I lose concentration and get out.

It might also be useful to note that I have felt this weighted feeling during dreams I used to have periodically several years ago.

I'm not sure what my question is.. but does anyone have any comments on this? Thanks. :laugh:

I cannot tell you what is happening with the weight of your arms. If I were you I would remain in a meditative state and let this weight run it's course.

I have considered such matters.

concentration is most important at the beginning of the meditation, after which you may wish to work with circulation or insight.

this does not mean to promote loss of concentration, but it does promote parlaying the centeredness into unfolding acceptance of phenomena arizing and passing away without losing your meditation seat.

(note many are inclined to making up new religions at the slightest traces of these effects, what a waste!)

so the concentration is just the starter.
if you keep it going you get into jhanas (stoned like mental states and siddhis).
if you parlay it into insight you get into the development I just mentioned which I know is far more valuable.
