| | Concentration is going to be shit at this point, especially if you're trying to bear down on the object like you were doing before you got the A&P. Switch to a much wider, all-inclusive, gentle focus. If you're practicing anapanasati, shift the attention to the surface of the skin. The boundaries of things is where most of the interesting stuff is happening now. If you're doing a noting practice, just switch to all-inclusive, general, choiceless noting, paying careful attention to those desires for things to be other than they are, and gently disembedding from them.
Do this consistently and relentlessly until the dark night lifts. |
