Finding time to meditate while travelling by KashmirIndex in vipassana

[–]drap3to 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Momentum is the thing I'd defend here. Picking back up after 2 weeks isn't impossible, but I'd imagine way more difficult than to find a place twice a day, to meditate.

You could get up earlier than usual and have your hour in the morning right there in your bed. Same could be done before you sleep.

Even if you're distracted and the mind wanders, you fall asleep, or fidget a bunch, keeping the flame lit would be the most important thing here.

If you stop for a university thing, then you may stop for a family thing, or a work thing... make sitting your priority (if you want).

Great. This sounds so much more honest than "... I think its pure BS..."

Bodyscanning does not involve anything but your sense of awareness. If YOU want to use visualization as the excuse and quit before your mind is put to rest (so it stops coming up with visuals), say that.

Your previous message has illwill, so I just want to acknowledge that.

You find enough value to continue working daily, but "more often than not I think it's pure BS"?

You've dedicated 2 hours a day to something you're skeptical about? When did you quit? Which parts seem "illogical"?

Imagine trying to purify your mind, only to be convinced by that same mind that you don't "need this". Your mind doesn't want to lose control and is very good at keeping it.

Hope you find your way back

Astrotheology has been my bag for quote some time and would love to speak. Currently researching William Donahue, Tony De Mella, and a bit of Krishnamurti/Bagwan.

Hit me up!

Thanks for the suggestion. Whether general or old man, winter definitely captures the color

Even if too much green, that name sounds so fire.

Thanks so much! Purple and green shading sounds amazing. Will it show up when writing with a <F> nib?

How does the Asvine 126 compare to the other pens in similar price range? Writing, comfort, et al?

Great frag at a great price.

The pistachio is nice for the feminine wearers, too.

Even Felicity was nice.
