Have you tried kriya or other techniques?

[Vipassana]

@herghly i do Sadhgurus sambhavi mahamudra & thought witnessing meditation. My main focus has been vipassana though because I see that developing mindfulness is crucial. Also have been using psychedelics but not as much as I need to.

@Vipassana Nice work! That's an impressively long time to be able to sit like that.

How did you get to the point where you can do that? Do you feel extremely present afterwards?

[Vipassana]

@Joel3102 practice bro.. tons of daily practice. I dont necessarily feel extremely present after because at the 2 hour 30 min mark, im burnt out. The end part of the sit consists of a lot of resistance & sitting still with the pain. But it does has a subtle effect on the rest of my days.

@Vipassana you are amazing!? 

[Vipassana]

@Dand both man, I am getting used to sitting without a back rest. The pain is reoccurring so I've learned to deal with it. I get pain on my groin area and its really uncomfortable which makes me move. There has been one session where i didn't move for 3 hours but around the 2 hour mark, I tend to move. Also psychological discomfort arises, sometimes I just feel like a tsunami of resistance. 

@Pacific Sage Thank You for the kind words brother

Good job!

 

What kind of vipassana meditation are you doing? Scaning the body? Focusing on the body as a whole? Just "observing everything without manipulete it (like How To Meditate - The No Bullshit Guide to Meditation indicates)?

@RedLine Body Scanning. Goenka Style.

Do you have any source where this technique is clearly explained? Scaning duration, etc?

[Vipassana]

@RedLine I don't know any sources that talks about the technique however i've never looked so you might find some if you search for 'Vipassana Meditation as taught by SN Goenka'.

I've been to 4 silent retreats and learned this technique from Goenka & his assistant teachers.
