Practice for wakeful living still seems like a good reason to meditate. (Atm I’m meditating at night with the aim of getting a longer, better night’s sleep…which might also lead to more literally wakeful living.)

I’ve heard that constistency is the key, and I’ve also been very inconsistent — with a tendency to just go head-tripping rather than meditate for real. :-/

And thanks! I’m now up to nearly 3 weeks of better.

I think almost everyone sucks at meditation unless they’ve had years and years of consistent practice. (I’ve only had years of very inconsistent practice, so I still suck.) Your question – “what happens next” – well, nothing. XD; The whole feelings-of-bliss-and-universal-consciousness thing happens sometimes, and it’s nice, but it’s not the point. (And I suspect if you go looking for those feelings, you don’t experience them as often, but I have no solid data there, so I could be wrong.) The point is just sitting there and being and cultivating awareness. Practice for wakeful living, I guess.

(And here’s hoping you’re still feeling better!)

Yeah, he is. And I am so old here.

I’ve never seen it! I generally dislike musicals.

Oh wow, John Travolta is so young there.
