Very different from my usual breath-focused method.
Felt light buzz & headache after the session but the feeling was of immense peace, with parts when my thoughts were completely blank.

Felt to be in this blank state for days.
The first 15-20 mins were random cross-talk of thoughts. Was at peak of calmness before the end of 45 mins, relatively dropped from there later.

Hardly any blank patch today. Some key old thoughts of wisdom that flowed
You choose your distractions and let them affect you
Your life is an act based on your worldview
Recommend journaling thoughts after sessions

Today& #39;s session felt more like a nap in awakened state. Too many random thoughts which were making no sense after a point.
Towards the end had a panic thought bomb of sorts, but dodged it by focusing and calmed myself.

Also today sat with a back support and at one moment I did fall asleep. Won& #39;t sit with support again, think that caused the session to feel like a nap.

Brief moments of calmness. Few thoughts on structured thinking in general, rest all random.
Crazy how many random thoughts pass your brain.

Meditation was never a routine for me, now since starting this challenge it has become a crucial part of my day. Loving this.

Also the day was more focused and mindful, with no clutter thoughts.

Mind doesn& #39;t make quick jumps between thoughts anymore. It& #39;s calmer and thinks a little longer on a thought.

Also these days, I don& #39;t get distracted by random sounds around me during the session unlike when I started.
The same stands true during the day managing multiple tasks, it& #39;s helping me prioritise and focus better.

The more I read, the more I understand the importance of stillness in life, it& #39;s truly a life-changing habit.

Atleast 3 bursts of this buzz like feeling passing throughout my brain. One instance where I was on a normal thought and the buzz occurred and sent a signal to my lips to smile.
Was literally mind-blowen and was unlike anything I have experienced before.
