Thread: eye twitching.. couldn't keep it going

It is best try simply ignore the eye twitching. This happens sometimes and it won't have any negative effects on your technique, unless you allow it to. Focusing too much attention on it or worrying about the twitch can cause your progress to slow down dramatically. You got some hallucinations, so SP had at least started to set in. It hadn't got to the point of full blown SP, but you were getting there. Next time, just try to ignore the twitching completely and keep striving toward sleep. Observe your hallucinations, but don't try to make them into something they are not. Just allow them to do whatever they are doing. After a bit, they will start to become more vivid and coherent on their own. I simply think you were trying a bit too hard and just need to relax and allow the process to do the work for you. Congrats on your progress and just keep practicing. If you have any further questions, don't hesitate to ask!

thx for the quick response

I think you're right, I did feel like I was trying too hard. I tried my best to keep my awareness, but my mind keeps drifting off and thinking stuff like "whoo something is happening gogogo faster". Logically I know I should just relax, observe, and be aware but when in the heat of the moment I have a hard time doing it.

I guess this is just a mental discipline issue and there's no easy way around it except to keep practicing?
