Fidgeting and itching

[Guest guest]

Last winter I went to a Vipassana meditation retreat where we sat for

45 min sets. During one set we were asked to observe any physical

sensations in our bodies and name and describe them as they arose.

Instead of trying to not notice the itch, or discomfort, this

meditation suggested we pay close attention to the sensation

describing it to ourselves, burning, poking, ache ect. and then watch

it change, as it surely will. This seemed to defuse the power of the

distraction. It helped me be able sit still.

Peggy Sue,

 

Did they talk about the five things that distract you from medition? Along

time ago I did an Vipassana silient meditiiatioon retrat. They talke about

the 5 someting or others that come up when meditatiing. The tendency to

fall asleep was one.

 

Thanks,

Samantha
