I usually try to remain relatively still throughout a structured meditation session and it’s not so hard when I’m in a comfortable position. But that is not so true when my flexibility is challenged, as is the case when I sit cross-legged on the floor. So I often move when the discomfort seems to be too distracting

Problem is… today’s daily meditation did not afford me this luxury. The instruction was “resolve to stay perfectly still” through any discomfort. LOL. At around the 10 minute mark, this became a real challenge for me. With each passing minute the pain in my legs grew more and more prominent. I set an intention to drop back as space for even that and aversion waxed and waned. I struggled considerably but was able to stay still and got through to the 20 min mark.

But this got me thinking about how little there is to experience. Now that I’m much more comfortable, I struggle to find anything to say about the pain in its absence. I can’t say what it felt like, in fact, I can’t even say that it hurt. No idea can capture the experience of the bare sensation. All I can say is that it was that. What a world we are apart of.

Peace Y’all
