Reflection #4

Meditation is not a type of thing that I would do usually. I have never actually tried it seriously, and I’ve always thought of it as a useless practice. So I started my meditation with this negative mindset that this was just a waste of my precious time. Few minutes into the meditation, all I had in mind was thoughts of school and life. Even if I tried to empty my mind, these thoughts kept on coming back. Also, the noises from outside were a huge distraction. However, few more minutes into my meditation, I felt something very weird. I couldn’t feel any part of my body and I almost felt like I was sitting in the air. It was a very weird sensation. As I tried to explore this state more deeply, my phone alarm went on and signaled that 20 minutes has passed by. I’m not sure if I attained "right thoughts", "right mindfulness" and "right concentration", but I’m pretty sure there was something. This experience was more than just sitting on the floor for me. When I have time, I actually want to try this again for a longer period.
