Meditation tips from Shinzen Young:
💙 You should practice for two reasons: To benefit yourself and to better serve others.
☕️ Any depth you attain during seated practice, you should aim to maintain during ordinary activities.
🖐There’s an aspect to meditation that entails calming, but there’s a complementary aspect that involves sensory clarity.
👫👭👬You’ll make optimal progress if you work directly with a personal teacher / coach who’s both very deep and with whom you share communication rapport.
📆 Keep up the structure of your practice for your whole life, every day, no matter what.
🍃Your insights will mature over the years and decades; don’t fixate views around the nature of practice.
🐌One way to describe how consciousness works at the deepest level entails reinterpreting the South Asian concept of Arising and Passing in terms of the East Asian concept of Expanding and Contracting.
