I'm sure many of us have been there. You have been sitting in quiet meditation for a long time now and finally that chatter in your skull has started coming to a halt and finally- there it is; a moment of complete silence! Then, when you become aware of the silence, the thunder of your thoughts come racing back in, as if your body is perceiving it to be a threat.
It's similar to how easy it is to ruin "being in the moment" by simply being aware that that is what you are doing.
I don't know if this makes any sense, but to those for who it does, do you have any tips on how to overcome this, aside from more practice?
All the best to you fellow bums!
