Meditation log
Calling this sit 0 because it’s pre-me locking in a proper routine
Date & Time: Monday 2025-07-21, 08:15
Duration: 20 minutes
- (was aiming for 30 but got restless)
Technique: Ānāpānasati (Anapanasati)
Summary of the Sit:
- I think I’m already a bit more aware of the inside of my nostrils from doing it yesterday - on a walk yesterday I was also paying attention to my nostrils a bit and it felt like the sensations had been upweighted. I imagine it’s similar to flashcards (or learning a skill like the guitar) - when you sleep on it and then wake up, your brain has “consolidated” somewhat, and you find things easier
- Overall, still super mind-wander-y, of course. ~95-99% distracted
Key Takeaway / Question:
- I think it’s just a case of getting the first let’s say ~5 hours in

My meditation setup

I already have this goofy little tiny meditation cushion from amazon
Yesterday I was like “ooh, I know, I need knee cushions, that was a key thing I learned at the vipassana retreat”
And then I realised “hang on, I don’t have to buy knee cushions from amazon, surely I have something I could use for free” → so I’m using my laundry bag and a blanket lol. Works perfectly 😎 shoutout to the new frugal Alex
