Hello people. I just started to meditate a week ago,using the Do Nothing technique. Now,Leo says at some point in one of his videos that at first you are gonna have doubts and all sorts of questions about meditation,and that is your monkeymind right there,but I am gonna post this regardless.
So I start by sitting alone,in a quiet room and set a countdown for 1 hour on my phone. I have never managed so sit trough a whole hour,so far I ve sat for around 25-45 minutes. I don t look at the time until I am done meditating .
And now ,I don t really try to do anything with my mind.I just imagine random things,a lot of times songs come up in my head and I don t really restrict my mind.
If I want to be mad at someone for doing something to me,I just think at that and I accept that I am mad. If I wanna cry silently ,I let myself cry . I start to think what I would do tomorrow,about my assignments and..all sorts of things that you usually think throughout your day.The only difference is that now I sit still.
So....is this how it s suppoesed to be? Also,what can I do about the numbness of my legs(I sit cross legged on a pillow on a carpet).Should I just ...let it be?
Thank you for your time.
Martin.
