Week 14 Day 4

Week 14 Day  4

Medi object - choiceless, hands
Intention - labelling clearly, noticing as many sensations as possible quickly

Afternoon all! It's a lovely sunny day here in London. Hopefully this will spill over into the weekend. Today on tube medi, I continued my quest to sharpen my labelling. I started with the labelling of the rising and falling of the breath which was interrupted by two women having a conversation - which stopped whilst they looked at their phones (I peeked), half way through some Bhangra music came on as some guy was watching his lime green Tab 4, the announcements, the train drivers jollifying. I also saw light on my eyelids and warmth on my right leg (which I conceptually perceive at sunlight!). My feet were firmly on the floor. Sometimes I felt as if my breathing wasn't there, particularly with the musings in the past few days about vibrations and impermanence. For the second half of the journey I focused on my index fingers and tried to sense their impermanent presence...I felt pulses and buzzing...what exactly is this. More investigation required. The District line train was a yummy new one, they are soo much nicer than the old trains so there was a lot of space. Oh I tried to meditate on thoughts as per MCTB, but was quite hard, again more to practise.

I have my new Hudl and it's pretty good - it's very Google oriented which I like, and it's high definition and half the size of an iPad. So I will be able to scrutinise MCTB (Mastering the Core Teachings of Buddha) more easily on my travels!

Today am having an "easy" day, and if I have my way I will be leaving early and hitting the driving range! Now starts the ramp up to summer....bring it on
