If you get those itches and notice the swallowing then there are a few problems: |

Well right now it's impossible, i had to swallow my spit every 20 seconds to 1 minute, it forced me as i was on my back laying on my bed. I think i'll "try" again, hopefully i can ignore the unbarable itching, i mean UNBEARABLE!!! well except this time i was not itching badly but gotta retrain my eyes to stop rolling. |

Hm, I'm not sure it is working out. I mean...the point in meditation is to empty your mind as much as possible. Breathing consciously requires you to think. In meditation when focusing on breathing, you don't really as much "focus" on it but rather use it "as a focus" in order to keep your mind on one thought and slowly put it into a state of peace and quiet. At that point, the breathing becomes as independent of your thoughts as it is when you're doing other activities. |

Lol i shower 5 days a week in the mornings, sometiems 6, or even 7, wash my clothes 2 times a week, bedsheets, carpet, underarm 7 days a week, cologne aswell etc. All clean, i'm not the unclean kind of person. |

the problem is that your so worried about accomplishing something with meditation...its causing you problems....All i do is watch the picture that is in my head or the various images that appears and im not worried about anything else |

the true pupose of meditation, is to let go of body and mind, so that you can discover your "inner (or "true") self"; aka, discovering your center. |

You merely have to change your point of view slightly, and then that glass will sparkle when it reflects the light.
Aye, pretty much what I was trying to say but didn't get to, hahah. |

The itching during meditation is kind of funny. You can go weeks without being itchy, but the moment you sit down to meditate, it feels like you're crawling with bugs! |
|
Well, i am not letting go of my burden, is that also one of the steps? |
|
This is what im saying. |

Nothing is beyond your control. |

Ok, let's get back to the thread lol. |

Try putting your tongue against the roof of your mouth this helps the saliva situation for me. Supposivly itching can be a side effect of concentration, sometimes when I get itchy I focus on the itching feeling, then it stops bothering me and goes away. But occasionally this will make it more intense and ill have to scratch it. |

“Will not a man who has seen nothing but the shadows of reality, not feel fear when exposed to the light?"
I suck at meditating, or rather I haven't tried hard enough *which is ironically the problem*. but then again cloudWalker so carefully used the right words to describe what it takes to meditate |
|
visualizeing works much better for me than just emptying your mind. chose a seen and go into detal like the light being reflected off of what ever is there, what the ground feels like under your feet and the sounds the wind is causeing. also siting up is a better position |
