only mid to high tier esoteric people can do this
>>41052202I can't say I've heard of that, I'm guessing I could figure that out if I listened to enough of the soundtrack cause one track in particular came to mind. Let me look that up.Ohhh fuck waaaay off, I do have some white walls to work with finally tho since I've been packing and some posters are down. I think I'll start practicing this here and there when it feels appropriate. Thanks for sharing <3
>>41052202this nigga thinks just sitting is occult and esoteric
>>41052319most here can't do it for that long though, let alone on a consitent daily basis
>>41052202How the fuck are you supposed to just "be aware" without focusing on anything? My brain just defaults to focusing on not focusing, which is still focusing. Am I a complete brainlet or is this concept retarded?Explain this shit.
>>41052485learn to become an observant of your train of thoughts, not a participant
>>41052202Yes. I had a hard time with meditation until I came across this method, it's my favorite.
>>41052556actually, it was easy for me too as a noob, but most find it difficult for some reason
>>41052202Shikantaza isn't esoteric. Shikantaza is a sutric meditation which means it is exoteric. It's an open practice that doesn't require initiation like tantric meditation styles. It's definitely an amazing practice, and it will definitely help you with any esoteric practices you do in the future though
>>41052580For me, I think it was easier as a beginner because I have a very active mind in general. It's easier to be present with fleeting thoughts than to try to keep them out when you have no practice. Other methods of meditation have gotten easier with practice, of course, but this method is usually my default
