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

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
