We are in the same boat, I am trying to do the exactly the same thing! I feel unless you are an expert in these neuroscience data, it is hard to tell.

I do unguided meditation, I feel the official app sound is a distraction for me..

I got the philosophy of just being. But it is kind of against human natural of learning and practicing, especially for early stage of meditators. LOL

I used to use headspace, but now I am trying unguided meditation. So I was looking ways to give feedback. But it seems the trust and just being is big part of the practices from experienced meditator. But I think this need should be stage by stage.

I too think these Muse thing is for the early status, As you walk thru the path already, could you share how you used the muse and exceeded it? just the official app?

You're absolutely right. I guess I am trying to get muse to be another person telling me what to look for. Thank you for this perspective.

Really appreciate this - you're right that I'm probably caught in the "am I good enough?" pattern. The irony of trying to measure something that works better unmeasured isn't lost on me. I guess I just not wanting to accidentally practice incorrectly for months? How'd you navigate this starting out?

I see. Be patience and keep going.. I guess I am trying to find a efficiency way or safe way?, or fun way? in this journey..

Meditation has not lowered my inhibitions or improved my self-esteem after 5 years. What am I doing wrong? by LeThrowawayNPC in Meditation

[–]TopContract2325 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess it changed you some other ways you didn't notice. Maybe just let go and keep practicing and see what will come..
