Re: What to do - when i have no power to meditate
hi purpleplanet
do you relax yourself before meditation, walking or sitting? try some stretches, have a shower, listen to a dhamma talk, release the pressure and perhaps mindfulness will arise easily.

Re: Vipassana Skype sessions of out-loud Mahasi style noting
