meditation on steroids

[Dima logach]

so about 2 months ago i bought ear muffs, the shooting range style ones (i personally bought the 3M peltor). i started meditating with them and with eye covers like you have on an airplane. they both block the sight and sound and you can see the minds ways of thinking very clearly because the only thing that you will perceive in your sit will be your mind, plus the depth of silence and stillness will skyrocket. i found that it starts to hurt my ears if i do this every day and to put some contrast I'm doing meditation with them every second day. i highly recommend it to anyone who wants to deepen their meditation and i would like to hear if any of you already tried it already and if you have any tips
