Awesome notes!
One thing that just struck me was the emphasis on relaxed concentration.
I have been using Headspace for guided meditation for the last couple months, and just finished the Focus series. In that series the instructor, Andy, also emphasized that a calm and relaxed focus is more effective then an intense focus, as well as the idea tha lasting concentration is not achieved through intense staring, but through curiosity and by "letting go".
- kranner 10y agoThanks! I can recommend a couple of books focusing on relaxed approaches to meditation. I can't always manage to relax during concentration exercises but when I do the results are often surprisingly good. https://www.amazon.com/Natural-Meditation-Effortless-Meditative-Practice/dp/B00T3JGZTY https://www.amazon.com/Natural-Meditation-Effortless-Meditat... https://www.amazon.com/Meditators-Dilemma-Innovative-Overcoming-Revitalizing/dp/1611802482 https://www.amazon.com/Meditators-Dilemma-Innovative-Overcom...
