Just people sharing there experience. Yesterday I had a so so session. Set a timer for 30 minutes. Did my usual meditation, starting with concentration/breathing center of head, then down and circular from head to hara, then heart to hara, then just at hara then breathing silently, lastly letting it all go, just sitting there. It felt fine, but I ended it after 23 minutes. I thought the time was up. Sometimes 30 minutes feels short, often I've timed it perfectly but yesterday it was short. Maybe that agitation stayed w/ me cause I didn't sleep well last night. Why? either late night Sudoku (level 4) keeping me up or I wanted it too bad. Set up a self awareness loop I couldn't break out of. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ReturnDragon Posted February 2, 2020 (edited) I watch movies late at night. So, I go to bed very late and woke up with braintire. Sometime in the afternoon, I sat at a semi lotus position and closed my eyes. Taken Taoist breathing, like slow deep breathing, for 15 to 20 minutes in a trancelike state. Then, I felt like I was rejunvenated and replenished. As a mater of fact, sometimes, I have to meditate before conducting a Tai Chi class.
