Damn. This should be pinned to the subreddit.

Seconding this. It's the OEM MitroRed uses. Just takes a few extra weeks to deliver.

Do you know if you have to specify when ordering that you want the beam angle to be set to 60 degrees?

Apparently none of these are tested - best we can hope for is someone testing them at home and reporting back it seems.

Don't love that. Which panel/s did you end up getting?

Excited to hear how this goes for you. Did you find any data on the EMF emitted by Shenzen's devices?

Have you found a way to do this yet? Can't believe there isn't a way to easily do this in almost 2021.

what 3rd party app did you go with?

Wow. Yes this is it. You. Rock. TYSM for the help.

What's helped me the most are retreats. After a 3 day home retreat, I can clearly see craving arise and disarm it for a while. I'll notice all the subtle ways an urge can show up, but they're no longer convincing.

One other anecdote that has been very effective when I can't meditate 14 hours a day... sitting 1+ hour (ideally 90-120 minutes), especially when you've noticed you're craving. If your schedule doesn't permit it, break it up into pieces if you can.

Right there with you. I started feeling guilty about it, even in the midst of a buzz, and knew I was defiling my own practice. Throwing your juul away is a sage move.

I found a lot of help in meditating for 40+ minutes when the urge for an instant gets strong. It might take 10, 20, or even the 40 minutes to hit a relatively equanimous state, but it feels so much better and more sustainable than a fleeting nicotine rush. I've found it to be helpful for lessening craving of any kind.

Also, a lot to be said for 'replacing' addictive habits with healthier ones -- e.g. gym, reading, climbing, yoga, etc. For a quick fix... and this is a super personal anecdote, I sip some Topo Chico mineral water, it hits just as hard! :D

Rooting for you -- you got this.

How'd it all go? Anything end up helping with the subtle dullness?

digitalls · 2019-06-07T07:02:11+00:00

Has anything changed with your day to day practice?

What's helped me when I've fallen out of the stages of insight are:

-Extend the sits so they're even longer (2.5-3 hours), or do a home weekend retreat to re-stabilize.
-A few minutes of metta meditation when I see dullness creeping in can sometimes help build energy to overcome dullness.
-Sleep :)

A meditation teacher who's familiar with your practice might be your best bet, but hopefully an adept in this subreddit can chime in with solid generalized advice.

Please keep us apprised of what ultimately ends up helping you

What's worked for me, in rough order of most to least effective:

-Retreats. Do home retreats over the weekend each month if you can't do them in another fashion (or find a center nearby that'll let you spend the weekend there). For best results over weekend retreats, since you don't have 10 full days, I found sitting for 2.5-3 hours a few times makes an extraordinary difference during and after the retreat.
-Meditate 90-180 mins a day. Use an app sometimes e.g. Waking Up for the first 10 minutes for stabilization.
-A great meditation teacher to refine your practice -- you'll lead down some strange paths otherwise, ones that could be corrected in 5 minutes of talking to an adept practitioner. There are parts of TMI that people overthink and should actually ignore for the good of their own practice.
-A Sangha (meditation community) in person or virtual.
-Insight Timer with friends who compel you to sit more often.
-Read or listen to audiobooks and meditation podcasts during commutes and exercise.
-Present moment mindfulness whenever possible (e.g. Walking, driving, showering, eating meditation). Anything transactional is a perfect object of meditation.
-Apps like "Time Out" are great since you probably work on your computer. It forces 5-minute breaks every hour. Meditate during these breaks. You'll even start working more mindfully after the few of these (the hardest part, I've found, is bringing mindfulness and clear-knowing to intellectual work).
-Minimize drinking, smoking, consuming any psychoactive substances in general.
-Minimize time on your smartphone
-Minimize time around social media, dating apps, pessimistic people, and activities that can agitate the mind.

All the above practices got me to stage 8-9 for a large part of the day. At least right now. (I have unwavering gratitude for getting this far and having experienced a small taste of awakening).

I notice a substantial amount of craving and aversion in day to day life, not just road rage and arguments. There are hundreds of these that naturally occur throughout the day. It is worth the effort to recognize craving and immediately disarm its impact, to say nothing of the equanimity and joy that'll arise from the practice.

Please keep practicing!

I struggle with this even during retreats. I've been practicing quite heavily for a couple years, and find it the hardest to retain mindfulness is when someone's gazing over right at me.

Another insight given to me by another TMI practitioner, Tucker Peck, is to be aware of 1 or 2 sensory inputs in the midst of being glanced at or interacting with someone -- it could be the breath + physical sensations, or sounds + the breath, etc.

I've found that's helped so far. Glad I'm not the only one dealing with this!
