After 2 days of harder physical training than I've done in a while, I was feeling creaky, cranky and out of sorts this morning.
So, I sat anyway. During the beginning autogenic relaxation part of the practice, what had been "whole body achiness" resolved to just a couple of specific spots. During the merit prayers part of the practice, I added a piece that said "As long as I'm already feeling crummy, may someone else be free of that, and feel comfort and ease."
I'd love to say I had some huge breakthrough, that didn't happen, though. It was a good solid session. The anapanasati spot resolved itself into a golden sphere that floated below my nostrils and in front of my upper lip. Did not have feelings of outright joy, did have feelings of peace breathing out.
