meditation

im doing a weeklong jhana-focused meditation retreat starting tomorrow evening. any advice for a first-timer?

(also im gonna be offline and incommunicado for a week. dont miss me too much)

building /cabin, advising /clanker and /farcon | grin.io

when you said “first timer”, what do you mean?

polymath currently working for /a0x - father and creator

never done a retreat, never meditated more than ~40min at a time

cool. congrats. i would just recommend you to face it as a gift that you are offering yourself, to get to know your self. the more you allow the recognition of the experience from a place of curiosity towards yourself, the smoother anything that could come up will become. embrace it all as a gift. and be hardcore. ruthless. devote to the practice from a place of reverence and truth

this matches pretty will with the advice they've sent out so far (though idk if they said the hardcore part out loud lol). appreciate your thoughts

excited. prepping my space now. trying to make sure i tell everyone i know so they know i'll be afk and i dont leave anyone hanging

np man. i love when people make the decision to go to one of these

how are you feeling about it?
