That's ok, there's no such thing as "late" in my class. I look forward to your workbook entries, and I hope that my class will teach you how to 'silence the monkey of the mind' . |

Decided to get off my ass and make my workbook, even if I've started class a bit late Tomorrow when I'm not so sleepy I'll write up my little first post on what it means to me, and what I want to accomplish |

Thanks for filling in your meditation workbook . Meditation does allow you to just block out everything else in your life and find comfort in your own thoughts. And it's great sometimes to let go of those thoughts and just exist, or like you said, just 'be'. |

I have noticed that I'm getting better at letting my thoughts simply pass through my head. I've been trying to WILD recently and end up just meditating for a while before giving up the WILD, but when I do, I have been practicing acknowledging my thoughts, allowing them to finish and then simply moving them along. I'll still have small thoughts chattering away in the back of my head, but they won't be in focus for brief periods until I get distracted and start thinking again. |

Most of the trippy stuff is just your eyes, in focal meditation. But some of the stuff you experience isn't just your eyes, and that is a result of the meditation. I can't really explain how it feels, but if you keep practicing, you'll start to feel like you're understanding the focal object more, as if your 'self' is getting closer to it in a way. |
|
I've been doing meditation for short periods nightly, just to relax and calm my mind a little bit. I haven't hit anything like the focal trance since then, but I haven't been putting as much effort into it, as I'm normally doing it right before bed and I'm pretty tired and just want to sleep |
