Worries before sitting deepens. Meditation upon feeling. Tonight, concentration deepens and I feel pleasure throughout the body. I return to concentration.
The stone is so often neutral. It seems more the way it truly is, or something beyond pleasant or unpleasant, something more essential. It seems that meditation upon feeling when unpleasant and pleasant states arise brings awareness of two of the hindrances, attachment and aversion. The neutral feeling, not that I can make that arise, but when I notice it, deepens and provides information about how things are.
How are things? I learn tonight that I do not need to 'know' about the three marks, or the five hindrances for concentration to deepen. I can return to it alone, it develops on its own. Concentration brings the base for reaching out to insight.
Easily, I am grounded in awareness, all of my worries earlier in the sit are now arranged in some accessible sidebar, touched gently with feelings of acceptance.
