Thread: The itch

Hm...I ignore it...it'll go away...just ignore it..

i try to do that but it totally drives me crazy! i sit there trying to ignore it as long as possible, then just cant stand it anymore

ahhh come on...just resist it....

Then just itch it and then go back to what you were doing. That's what I do if its driving me crazy.

RESIST THE ITCH...kinda rhymes. but nah, just itch away my friend. i cant stand it either.

The epidemic of hate that resides in what’s left your soul,
Starts right where you buried all your fears
But did you trade reason for abandonment
And in the depths, did you seal the last of your emotions?-me[/b]

I've read that it's because of poor blood circulation...

When i just started meditating i felt it in my face...I experienced it if i

focused on my breathing for too long... It felt like electrical current

flowing through my face and going to my chest.... But it wasnt too itchy...

It just was unnatural...

but if you give in, and scratch it, doesnt that ruin the whole sitting still effect?

i just itch without thinking...just ignore the act of itching, it does disturb the whole sitting still effect, but sometimes i stretch my lets out straight cause they hurt, but honestly-think about it=

1. you could ignore the itch to make it go away, and let it distract you over the approximate one minute

2. itch it and be distracted for 3 seconds...

whats better...numero 2 is better for me personally.

Call it 'womens intuition', but I think I'm on to something here.

A truely good meditator can ignore the scratch and not even feel it..

I have this problem too. I try to Wild and sit still, but suddenly I'm uncomfortable in my sleeping position, I have an itch or I feel this tension. Maybe it means we're focusing too hard.

what are you implying... i get itches everywhere. usually on my nose or my legs or something.

haha. nevermind.
it was supposed to be a joke, but i guess it just kind of faded to fast.

To resist is to piss in the wind.
Anyone who does will end up smelling.

I always just itch. They never go away for me unless I scratch them. And it's a nice feeling (most of the time).

*shivers*

Oh, yeah, you're right there.

But can you have your cake and eat it too?

Today, everything was fine. Until roundabout, quarter to nine, I suddenly found myself in a bind. Was it something I said? Something I read an manifested that’s getting you down.[/b]
