Week 21 Day 4

Medi object choiceless

Intention to remain alert and receptive

Morning all! Today 5 mins metta and 25 mins noting.  Metta was difficult as it was very noisy so hard to keep those noises in the background.

Noting started with the breath and the dominant noises on the train of rumbling and announcements. I heard a conversation at the end of the carriage. Felt my hands on my knees feet on the floor. Thoughts of planning came into view and I noted some aversion. I saw the other train in the platform so jumped on that one a stop earlier and spent the next 10 mins wondering if I had done the right thing as this train stops at a few more stops than the other one. However the environment was much more pleasant as it was emptier than the previous train.

The light was very strong my eyelids and caused some irritation. Strong sensations do not lend themselves to quiet practice.

It seems emptier, must be moving to the end of the week. Hump day today and the sun is  shining! Hope you all have a great day and practice! 🐽 💜 🐽
