This is a great idea and I'm happy to participate here. I recently made the decision to hop back on the cushion and make my practice daily. My next step is to get up early at the same time each day for meditation (6AM), and also to practice each night before bed (10PM). One hour a day for a month.
I'm using Bhante G's Mindfulness in Plain English to bring some cohesiveness to my meditation practice. At this early stage in my practice I do need the examples to establish discipline and order as I have the tendency to get self-confident and veer wildly off course. I'm grateful for Bhante's G's lessons, willing to see for myself how they work, and yet I sometimes feel like I'm copying off someone else's homework. I see the answers, but I'm actually interested in the steps.
It was really really really really ... good. I will go back again in June for another 9-day retreat. I didn't get enlightened this time, but hopefully I will next time.Guy wrote:I'm going on my first ever 9-day retreat tomorrow...should be good.
