• 👇 sent this to my friends
• I want to get more ambitious and experience deconstruction and “foregrounding the background” states again!!!
• From Sasha’s “What I wish someone had told me about starting a meditation practice”
• 
• ☝️ this is exactly what I’ve been doing lol, Ānāpānasati (Anapanasati)
  • In my defence, it did get me to “access concentration” when I did the Finder’s Course. But weirdly I feel like it wasn’t going very well over the ~9 days that I did 1 hour per day, I didn’t feel like I was progressing
• So, open awareness! Surrender! Relaxation! Deconstruction!
• Other great posts by him on this
