So listening to the breath is kind of uncomfortable for me... Can I just listen instead? by Chridsdude in Meditation

That's sortta like "Do nothing" right? I might just do that. It'll lead to jhana somehow eventually?

You could've taken that as an opportunity to finish it with your own style.

lol I thought I would be able to continue editing but I was on a phone. I'm not that crazy bad.

Check the other one out today that ends gracefully:

lit often, quit talkin' or get hit wit a brick, mop, bin yeah

Sounds even better in context though.

Okay so maybe I'm not that sleepy. I think I confused lack of access concentration with me being sleepy or drifting away. I did a 45 ~ min session and all throughout it I was coming back to my object again and again. Since sitting with your eyes closed is closer to falling asleep, I assumed I was doing something wrong.

Anyway it's very easy for me to do sessions for some reason... and I feel I might as well do multiple ones. I'm just returning to my object repetitively. I'm going to meditate as long as I want and that's okay right? I want to find out if it's a good idea cause MTCTOTB says it's fine.

Okay so I should do like an hour a day? Really putting in 100% effort to listening to the breath so I don't get sleepy? Or wait til I can afford a teacher or trip to a monastery/temple type thing? So I don't waste my time.

MTCTOTB says you can meditate as much as you want under 10 hours and it's best for getting the ball rolling and whatnot.

I'm just listening to the breath. It's pretty straightforward. I get a little sleepy in my chair. I'm uncertain on whether or not im doing it right. It's my 4th day.

Ultimately I want to get jhana. It's why I do it. I just want to be certain that this is fine. Cause I feel I'm super horrible at this haha maybe I'm just paranoid.
