Hello class,
This meditation was different. I enjoyed the ocean and the wave sound in the background and the soft flute music. In fact, I became quite relaxed. There were less instructions to follow and we could chose our own focus point. Just to close my eyes took me to calm-abiding. The witnessing mind came along with the breathing in preparation for the meditation. I don't know if it was because I had been doing school work and was ready for a break away or if the technique kicked in that quick. I did feel and transitioned through the stages. Mastering the transition was quick for me but I am not sure if it was suppose to be that quick. In fact, I became so relaxed I felt a nod or sleepy feeling. I enjoyed it. By the way, today was the second time I completed this exercise because the first time was last week and was not sure what I experience.
