Strong Determination Sitting Tips...

[Josh2]

Hi! I wanted to ask what the alloed movements in Determination Sitting are - of course eye blinking but how to stop my urge to swallow saliva (since this gets me out of my meditative state). Maybe a few tips on how to do the meditation technique better would be great as well! Thanks

@Nicolas I would think you'd have to swallow otherwise you might accidentally choke but if it distracts you, you'd just follow your shift in attention to that distraction, you probably can't eliminate 100% of movement, but the point is to a greater degree than just normal meditation

You can basically look up how the Zen monks sit in zazen. That is by far one of the best sitting techniques I've found so far. They place their tongue in a special way so that saliva doesn't come up.
