Taking the risk of sounding very silly, I humbly request for some pointers on my practice.
- There is an inertia to sit down quietly for next few minutes.
- Once this inertia is overcome one way or another, I find myself initially and involuntarily getting too much focussed around my eyes (flickering) / distracted by the flickering.
- After 2-3 minutes or so (sometime even longer), I start to sense calmness, eyes stop flickering, and there is a sense of just being.
- After meditating for more minutes, I find inertia to come out of my meditation. Mind doesn’t want to come out of it. At this stage, I don’t feel any restlessness in principle.
- Object of meditation: I find it unnatural with me to focus on an object (sound, breath) during the later part of a meditation sitting. But if I allow myself to leave out the objects and focus on just being there, it becomes effortless without having to focus on object. This extends the time being spend on meditation without feeling the need to come out of it. In the initiating minutes, sounds and breath definitely help me.
What I don’t know if all of these are natural, expected or needs correction. I humbly request to help me with this.
