| | I think you guys have missed the lessons of jhana. Thor, you're on the right track with your thinking, here. If you know how to reach the jhanas, then you have learned what the 5 hindrances are experientially and you can begin working on them during the day. In my experience, the jhanas will manifest spontaneously during the day if you're practicing mindfulness correctly. Nikolai (from the Hamilton Project) had some interesting practices post AF he was doing where the arupa jhanas were appearing during the day. If I'm remembering correctly, he and Tarin posted some interesting discussions on there about how the PCE related to the arupa jhanas.
Anyway, jhana practice should spill over into daily life! You can use the techniques you use to get into jhana when you encounter problems during the day and this will bring you back to mindfulness more quickly. |
