oops: thought I was adding this to my practice thread; guess I started a new post...
My wife is out of town, so not much to do around here. Last night, I sat for maybe three hours. Later today, I'll be dropping the kids off at my mom's for a sleepover. I'll be doing a daylong retreat on Saturday that was organized by a local insight group.
Sitting last night, I focused on once-per-second, out-loud noting but also did some silent noting/noticing and samatha. Some body-rocking and vibratory phenomena, pulsing, quivering, etc., but not as pronounced as over the past week or two, possibly because I've been slammed at work and not practicing as much over the last three or four days in particular(?). Some floating, spinning, absorption-like states. Used "what's going on right now?" Noticed aching, itching, coolness on skin, pressure, softness, warmth, ringing in ears, dryness of lips, moisture in mouth, hair on head, feeling of glasses on face, greenish pixels, brightness, darkness, granularity in visual field, numbness, limbs falling asleep, 'pins and needles,' coldness of feet, roaring/rushing sound in ears; imagining, planning, remembering, wanting, aversion, concern, appreciation, anticipation; pleasant, unpleasant, neutral, sometimes 'slightly unpleasant'.
