Sat for two hours at the Won Buddhist meditation hall. It was just what I needed, a place not my home and conducive to meditation. Sat right down, but wow that was good in that it was hard. Pain, monkey mind....sheesh, feels like I am starting from scratch.

Going to a Tai Chi session there tonight as well.

Thanks all for your comments.

Such feeling is a frustration (of no results, maybe). Don't force yourself to meditate, just observe yourself, or event just stay present to the moment. Do some "worldly" activity which give you satisfaction. From time to time read some Dhamma talks from your favourite Ahjan. You will be back on the cushion for sure. :namaste:

Hi Cabona
Do not meditate. Just live in the present moment and be aware of it!
