New & Need Advice - Awakening and Physical Health?

[Merrick]

Appreciate it! I figured as much about the greetings, just seemed a bit too coincidental and I wasn't sure. I've definitely been continuing my meditations. Because it's only been a month of practicing, I'm finding it's extremely difficult to concentrate when doing so. I was noticing a sensation in my forehead and a nice "buzz" when I was doing it, and as well during the day. Again I've noticed these feeling have been almost non-existent which was somewhat concerning. I guess I'm just too impatient and want to keep making progress, something else to mediate on!

Hi Medicus!

I just wanted to offer some perspective. I’ve been meditating for years and I still have sessions where my mind won’t stay still for a single moment. Worry less about achieving, because simply by sitting and meditating, no matter how little or how much you’re able to concentrate, you’re improving. Sometimes the mind has to work something out and your meditation session is when it finds the time to do it. Don’t focus on the frustration of a tough session, instead focus on whatever felt positive in it.
