Week 15 Day 2

Week 15 Day 2

Medi object choiceless
Intention observe raw sensations and see where thoughts start and finish.

Oo very late evening all. It's no wonder drifting off was part of my practice. 5 mins of metta and 25 mins noting. Today naturally low energy, but I accepted it. I did stand for about 10 mins in the second half of the practice which was unusual but did stop the dozing lol. 

Focusing on breathing, rising and falling, noting the beginning and end of each in and out breath, hearing the heating and ringing my ears. I occasional saw lights in front of my eyes but probably due to the tv being on. Trying to spot when thoughts started and ended, could do it with the end of a thought but did find myself in a thought before realising. Some of them started with images and some started with sounds. As I stood later on I tried to sense my hands and individual fingers and felt a pulsing but they still seemed solid. My feet felt solidly on the ground. I sat down for the last 6 mins or so. I felt alert, but would find myself lose my observation of breathing and either lost in an thought or a quick catching observation of a doze!  Well I know I shouldn't meditate last thing, but this morning I wasn't able to do much on the train.  Still happy to have practised today, best head to bed for a good rest!
