Access Concentration
Re: Access Concentration
I think the biggest cause for my lack of concentration lately is my lack of resolve in my sitting. It feels like I'm just trying to get through my meditation rather than really wanting to concentrate the mind. When I had a stronger resolve and was more focused my meditation was better. Now that I've lost some of that my meditation just feels flat-lined. It's interesting to see how all these different causes and effects come into play when you sit. At least I'm noticing this and hope that it'll cause me to be more focused from now on when I sit.

Re: Access Concentration
I'd say it's when the hindrances have been suspended. The mind is tranquil and content to stay with the meditation object.Beautiful Breath wrote:... how we know when we're there?
