| As detailed in these two threads I think I may have crossed to early A&P http://www.dharmaoverground.org/web/guest/discussion/-/message_boards/message/5651031 http://www.dharmaoverground.org/web/guest/discussion/-/message_boards/message/5650882
Today I sat down and after a couple of breaths I was in access concentration or so I think at least At no point was the intense piti/sukkha indicating I would have transitioned into 1st jhana
I just seem lost in this pleasant haze or cloud and it's really hard to discern anything. I mean there is no tension and and no agitation of the mind or body, but sesations seem subtle and I can't seem to make progress.
In a way it's nice that there are no tensions that use do accompany me for a long period of time, but I guess sitting like this is not too productive either.
I've been doing anapanasati meditatoin with good results recently, but right now it isn't working very well.
I guess I should persist, but this is definately a new situation for me and don't quite know how to handle it yet. In the past weeks it has been really easy for me to get into 1st and 2nd jhana, but now piti and sukkha don't arise. (or then they are subtle and I was already in jhana after just a few breaths.) |
