I just finished up a 10-day retreat with Shinzen, which was pretty fantastic – though not as activating with experiences as previous retreats I’ve been on.
I did however, have a powerful experience of the nothingness and emptiness of self and all things, and I wanted to share the chain of insights that led me to there.
This morning I had an insight that some of the pent up stress and anxiety of my day to day life is manifesting as a bubbly, vibrating, ANNOYING energy. It’s not just showing up in my meditations where that is super distracting, but also just as I go about my day.
It’s weird to experience my to do list as a vibration, and my response to it is just to be annoyed with it – like it’s a mosquito just buzzing around my head.
