I had done this before and I 've found that each time your mind is away is bcs it has found a "NEW" mental object, may you begin to think on other things or to be distracted by the pain of your feet. But how can I make my mind stay correctly on the anapanasati mental object area? I mean on...

Re: Torpor and Unstable Mental Object
Yeap, now it works better! But I would like to know the mental object in the anapanasati meditation is to focus on the upper lip area, feeling the entrance and the going of the breathing here. But I can focus on this area, I mean very shortly, and instead of focusing this area I begin to focus on th...

Re: sleepiness at meditation
I don't know... I am just very confused... I heard some of my classmates have the same experience they could feel "shaking" and realize the body is formed by atoms....
As for me, I don't have that deep insight, I just felt the "shakings"....

Re: sleepiness at meditation
So, Denice may i ask you, if now I don't experience the "shaking" sensations I used to experience before in vipassana, is it correct? I mean, when I first worked on vipassana, I could feel my body "shake", and I could even feel that all the cells in the body are "moving"...

Re: sleepiness at meditation
Hello, you guys! I learned vipassana last year and just practiced a few times and then gave up. Recently I am taking vipassana all over again, apart from the drowsiness I realize I don't have that "shaking" sensation any more. Is this okay? Am I making a progress or am I loosing my focus???

Re: sleepiness at meditation
meiji1, thanks so much for your advice. I'll try it and see how it works!
I tried to think on light but it doesn't work with me, so I'll see how this works!

Re: sleepiness at meditation
Thank you so much, sangyey! I'll do the searching on the internet! You know, sometimes I think it requires a teacher for meditation! By the way, the Lam rim Chenmo is what I am reading now. I have just started a few pages. Actually, I was very interested in Tientai and had been studying the Patriarc...

Re: sleepiness at meditation
What are the Vairochana's seven point posture ? The first technique I learned was to focus on my breathing, later I was taught to recite a mantra, but this doesn't work with me. So, I learned vipassana. At first vipassana seemed to be very good, but I started to have some reactions in the body and l...
