Noticing the difference in meditation
When sitting in meditation…do it and don’t do it, and notice the difference.
When doing meditation, notice the subtle tensions in the body and mind.
When being the meditation, notice how relaxed and natural it all feels.
Practice alternating to see the difference.
In actuality, this is called “breaking the meditation”.
This releasing of any subtle clinging is so that one doesn’t get attached to the meditation,
(I know how funny this sounds, but sometime we might feel, “Oh I have to go and meditate,” when it is merely the non-practice of being what we are. And the whole point of sitting practice is that it is the basis for our conduct and mingling just being in daily life.)
