What to do once meditating?

I suppose what i mean is after about 10 or 15 minutes lately, i find i feel very calm and blissful. the breath almost seems to have disappeard, and i have very little thought - im always like ' what now' ?? do i continue to watch the breath, count the breath, or just enjoy the stillness.
maybe it takes half an hour before any insight can really begin?

Thanks
Andy

 

Insight comes from observing the sensation that follows. Meditation is practiced observation as opposed to a tendency to describe or narrate a particular quality.

It is futile to search for results because from a state of ignorance you could not recognize them, but it is rewarding to discover what is.

 

Continue to watch the breath and you'll continue to notice more and more things that your mind usually filters out or isn't normally sensitive enough to be aware of.

 

now that makes sense - cheers !!

Vipassana

i suppose just an deeper understanding of anxieties and fears, and learning not to be overwhelmed by our emotions.

i love that feeling, sometimes the next day when the 'answer' to something pops into your head.

i dont 'chase' after any answers - just enjoy the silence:sunny:

 

Ah, those few minutes after meditation are pure bliss. You feel great and it is almost like returning home from a long trip away.

I like to read, whether it be a novel (Big George Orwell fan) or a religious text.

 

Yeah after meditation i feel great - lasts for quite a while,
I know if i dont get my 'fix' of meditation - i really miss that feeling

 

Yeah, meditation is my opium, haha.

 

Do you practise Vipassana ?

 

Whatever happens - thoughts, stillness, stick with the cushion until the time is over. You notice some bliss, stillness, silence, awareness? But then there's the thought, what should I do now? Go back to the technique. Do not force. Sit, until the session is over. You say Vippassana? Do what your teachers tell you. Don't tell me you got it from a book?!

 

Meditation is boring as fuck. I thought everyone knew that.

 

Not all of us have access to teachers
so yes , over the years i have read different books, stopped for periods of time and then come back to meditation

 

Once you have reached a good state of meditation and relaxation.. Just sit back.. And live the meditation, you dont need to close your eyes, just be in the moment. Read spiritual books/texts, do tai chi or a moving meditation if thats what your into. Most of all, just BE

 

Sounds like you're expecting something. Stop it.
