I've meditating inconsistently for the last 8 months (20 minutes 5-7 days a week) and I haven't really experienced much of anything too fantastic or mind blowing. Thoughts come and go or ramble on, sometimes I do this thing where I realize I'm thinking and then I trace back my train of thought to the physical stimuli that sparked it. I find that I'm really not focused enough yet for self inquiry, I'll inquiry these big questions, but no answers come so my mind moves to something else. When my thoughts cease I'm still occupied by the ambient noise in the room or what seems like forced breathes. I still consider myself new to meditation or at least inexperienced, is there more that I can be doing to increase my gains?
