I read something this week that was helpful to me and very simple. It has helped me to take a little more effort out of a session. It came from a written discription of a discussion between Sidhartha and Asita as Sidhartha was being taught to meditate. He was asked if he could just not talk to himself. Thinking about that before a session has helped me to quieten some more of the thoughts with less effort or struggle. Just don't talk to your self!
It seems that I am experiencing very large gaps or blanks in each session lately (~3 months since begining NSR). I hope that is ok and normal. It will be interesting to see what happens in a year.
