Spiders come through my apartment by the truck load, the main avenue for them is the space between my front door and the ground. I take a towel, roll it up, and jam it in between the door and the ground. That keeps out most of them.

I think I should start doing that. For the moment, I have an old insecticide can. I spray some on the ground, as a repellent.

Is it too late to join?

I am re-establishing my practice after a long absence.

10 minutes a day, everyday?

I think I can consider I am now steady (nearly 2 weeks practicing that way) with one additional hour every morning.

The session has become: 2 am - 6 am

I am also steady in sleeping 4h30mn per 24h, which makes me go to bed at 9:30 pm.
When I don' have to go to work, 4h is fine.

but I really need this because I am experiencing :rolleye: due to having taken ayahuasca a few years ago. It is sometimes very frustrating to pratice that much to get so little inner peace. I hope to get over it soon.

Maybe wanting to achieve peace and putting expectations on your practice is exactly what is keeping you from attaining peace?
