I just wanted to let you know that your content is very helpful and I appreciate you taking the time to help us out, and inform us on these topics. Thank you. Many blessings to you, friend.
Thank you so much kind friend :D I just really remember how confusing it was for me when I started, yet meditation changed my life. So I only hope I can help solve the problem I had and make it accessible for everyone else too :)
One of my favorite objects of meditation is the space between thoughts. I usually begin by focusing on the totality of my sensory experience including the breath until my mind calms down enough for the gaps to grow. This is also my favorite way to fall asleep. Sometimes the phosphenes I’m watching behind my closed eyes transition into dream images and it becomes a hypnagogic experience. My other favorite meditation is first jhana. I luxuriate in how nice it feels to be completely relaxed and breathing deeply and easily without thoughts about any worries or concerns. Nice tingles eventually arise, similar to those I experience while watching ASMR videos.
Great overview. So many benefits. Understanding that we bring most of our suffering upon ourselves. Then using the meditation techniques you shared, we progressively learn to resolve imbedded issues and prevent future issues from taking root.
Thing is, you can incorporate multiple meditation types all within a single meditation session. I generally do this, a bit of reflection, visualisation, breathwork, focus, loving kindness, ect.
Does thinking about the thing that you're meditating on count as thoughts or awareness? Like, if I imagine the bird that's chirping or if I wonder what material your ring is made of--am I meditating or getting distracted?

Yes! Beautiful. Sleep transitions is such a window of opportunity, as is the breath. I'm filled with joy reading your accounts here. ☺️🎆🩵🤍🎇

In a sense the point of meditation is to become meditative even outside of meditation
Excellent!! Thank you so much!!

Number 10 is vipassana, right?
