Thank you for your response and suggestions. I’m taking a much more relaxed attitude to the body scan and the tension is much better; I find I need to monitor it quite closely. actively relax, and be gentle with myself to avoid forcing attention. I appreciate you giving me the context that it might take a long time to develop the…[Read more]

I’m hoping you will be able to give me some help with the Stage 5 (S5) body scan.

Here’s the context:

I’ve been working on S5 since January and spent most of that time working on subtle dullness, which is now quickly dispelled, for the most part. My perception of the meditation object (MO) – sensations at the nose – isn’t…[Read more]

Culadasa does say expressly in the book to be prepared to work with dullness for entire sessions (p.145). Really though, the walking meditation interlude was well worth it. I think what’s happening is that one is trying to ‘reprogram’ your…[Read more]

Yes that was me 🙂 I orginally posted the question in Culadasa’s AMA but he didn’t have time to get to it.

I have done a lot of psychological work on myself over the last for years before I started meditating and I was thinking that it may have resolved a lot of things. But thank you for your answer; it is inline with what I was…[Read more]
