I'm sorry. I'm getting all mixed up with my posts. I had posted to you, couldn't find it and then thought I had posted on the wrong thread. Acutally I think the computer "ate" my response to you. I'll have to rewrite it.

: Sounds like you are experiencing the
: first phase of settling into a
: meditation, which usually involves
: some mind chatter and resistance.
: Accept it and keep breathing into the
: feeling as an experiment. My
: "meditation" practice comes
: from several years as a practicing
: Quaker, and I think I've learned
: something valuable in my spiritual
: practice about just sitting. (This is
: probably also emphasized in Eastern
: meditation traditions) At any rate,
: Quakers sit in silence for a pretty
: long time before a deeper, relaxed
: state emerges. It's called
: "centering down" ......For
: more after about 30 min I feel a
: definate shift into a safer,
: theraputic "higher self"
: type of realm. It doesn't matter what
: you call it or whether or not you
: have a spiritual discipline per se.
: But it probably does matter that
: there's some some kind of meditation
: exercise that allows for levels and
: phases of acceptance, release and
: realization.
: It just takes a lot of practice.
: Feeling the peace and healing aspects
: of the actual RELEASE should keep us
: going.
: I'm not sure if any of this
: information is very relevant to your
: question, but if anything just keep
: sitting and observing. JUst observe
: WHATEVER it is, and stay aware of the
: subtle changes that happen as the
: meditation deepens.

: Hi Helen,
: Your critical/judgemental
: (introjected) parts are interfering
: with your concentration to process.
: This is the cognitive part of the
: process that needs an equal amount of
: attention to develop new skills to
: separate from thier influence.
