Please help me.

Re: What's happening to me. Help please!
I believe they are actually quite sensitive to human emotions/psychic energy. They are fascinating creatures, but if you get on their bad side, it is not pleasant! So do some metta for them! Anyway, Keep meditating and forget all these synchronicities - there are strange and inexplicable things whi...

Re: What's happening to me. Help please!
You are so caught in your stories that you are posting to DW while you are on retreat -- can you see that? This is not a stay-in retreat dude! I come to my lodge around 8 pm to eat, check my mail, and sleep. Go back at 7 am to obtain sil (8 precepts) and get back to the meditation. The good monk as...

Re: What's happening to me. Help please!
Crows are fascinating creatures. They can be very playful and naughty. The crow may be trying to tell you not to take yourself or meditation so seriously. Take the crow as your ajahn :) I wish I knew what they are trying to tell me, if they are... Notoriously impudent creatures, crows... I'm convin...

Re: What's happening to me. Help please!
It happened again. A crow dropped a dead branch right into me, it missed my head by inches. I spoke to my teacher. He said literally the following: "Well, you had all these bodily pains before, but now that your mindfulness is set on the body (I'm practicing vipassana), you notice these more of...

Re: What's happening to me. Help please!
Do you have an idea, what might be inside me that might cause all this turmoil? Could it be that I have an internal belief that I am not worthy of peace? How can I identify?

What's happening to me. Help please!
I went to my first meditation retreat. After 2 days, I started experiencing all kinds of drama. 1. Uncontrollable bodily pains. My whole body is in pain. When I stop, after 2 days, it goes back to normal. I start meditating again, and the pains return. It feels as if my whole body is a wound. 2. Ext...
