It's time for my meditation practice to shift gears. The last several months have been a focus on a certain set of prayers and chants...I'm feeling like a shift to more open-ended insight practice. It occurred to me that my entire practicing life, I've started a meditation session with a timer set to some pre-defined amount. Could be 2 minutes (short, good meditation is excellent); 20 minutes ( a nice strong stable practice) or 40 minutes ( probably the longest I've ever sat in a single sitting). But what if I turned off the timer and set a stopwatch instead? As part of the observation, observe only when my session ends....not whether it's lasted a set duration? It's such a simple and obvious question that I'm eager to see where it leads.
