10% of your Total Attention per hour: Some Results
November 1, 2006
First of all here is how I’ve been doing with this experiment:
I am able to dedicate 7 minutes of intense focus in every hour to meditation (I focus on stillness sometimes with a little creative visualizaiton other times). At home, I have totally slacked off. I have been able to use conscious action when I’m with my daughters or doing chores, but I really need to intensify this practice at home.
What have I discovered?
I have had a couple of interesting experiences. I had a couple of meditation sessions in which I felt a very pleasurable warmth surging softly up my spine that followed an out of body feeling in which I felt like an insubstantial single point of what I can only describe as “total acceptance”. I’ve also been getting more familiar with my inner space. I am familiar with the pattern of thoughts that rise up inside of me. I can feel myself triggered emotionally by certain events. Overall, it has been pretty enlightening.
My level of concentrations has increased as it has become easier to calm my mind. I will continue this experiment for another month or so.
