What is with the saturation in these videos? It makes me feel like I am on LSD.

wow! I experience on a regular basis a lot of unpleasantness arise as a result of my meditation. I really disliked it when my stuff started to surface but i remember at one point that i said to myself what a gift it was to have the chance to work with our samskara's and purify ourselves of them. We've been given an opportunity to entangle the mess and free ourselves from its grips. I can't say that I've developed that taste for purification as Shinzen describes but it puts the difficulties which are actually periods of growth in perspective. Absolutely beautiful, i feel blessed!! Thank you!!

I've noticed that too, after i started meditation 2 years ago i somewhat became more of a sensitive person, there's this guy inside me that is always mad and hopeless but lately there's also this rational voice saying things like "why are you moping?" And stuffs, and i started to detect somatic notions and the emotions suddenly desolves, there's also another method in which i conciously and voluntarily made the decision to let it rage, it being the emotions, but instead of raging it actually magically disolves into thin air.

Oh journaling also helps, because i think i suffer some degree of alexathymia

Thank you, Shinzen. Such an eloquent way to describe the experience.

Thanks once again Shinzen! ❤Just another really beautiful and to the point explanation! 🙏

Brilliantly described, inspiring and reassuring that I now have access this part of my meditation - thank you.

Thanks for the clarification. It sounds like you are going to just keep trusting the process you are doiing. That sounds good. All the best with your experience.

Brilliant teacher!

you're welcome! I still find I need to express emotions and handle things at the psychological level. So, for me its not enough to only meditate. I think sometimes we have to feel the tramatic incidents of the past, and perhaps get help understanding what happened, because we live in a society where we all got pretty disconnected from the earth, our bodies, and the deeper ground of being. But that is just my path. Best!

@bamboosa First, let me extend my empathy for your inhabiting a searing hell for 4 years. This sounds incredible, and I am so grateful that you have these teachings. What you wrote is an inspiration to me, as I deal with a lot of health challenges. Both people who have responded to this seem to me to have something profound to say. THANKS.

That is awesome Jay! I use it for emotional pain all the time. It's the greatest tool I have for that. If I try to explain this to people, even people who have been into growth for a long time, it makes no sense. There is a fantastic article about this on the Internet. If you Google "shinzen young break through pain the good news and the challenge." you will find it. Good luck, nice to hear from someone having this experience. I'm happy for you!

What a great description. Thank you so much. I do experience this, and it is literally life changing to understand this phenomenon. I do think it can be described, at least in its grosser manifestation, as feeling something like a deep massage where the pain feels " good". There is also sometimes a sense that something is relaxing, and one is in more of a flow state. Hmmm, sounds nebulous, but it definitely is a tangible feeling! I love the way you relate this awareness to exponetial growth.

Raina430 that’s actually a decent description

I'd say purification for me feels like multiple things happening sometimes simultaneously, sometimes at different times: The painful sensation softens in a way The painful experience starts to flow and spread out You can feel the experience flowing out of your body, sometimes through your skin, other times through exhalation Afterwards there is often a kind of rest or gap, a quietness, especially if the experience was major. It is when the samskara has been removed and no new one has thus far been triggered to fill your consciousness.

It's helping me with my procrastination issues, since I know doing the activity I'm subconsciously resisting will bring that subconscious resistance to the surface in the shape of physical and emotional sensations, which can be transmuted into fulfillment or purification. So there's sort of a double prize: the action itself which supposedly aligned with my goals and wholesome, and the immediate taste of the resistance being worked through

Huh. Sometimes I feel like the purification is a fire that burns without consuming the fuel, but Shinzen says your spiritual growth becomes like a hockey stick. Encouraging.

I know what you mean. I have inhabited a searing hell both emotionally and physically for 4 years now and that taste is a link to something indescribable wherein pain and fear and horror play a role in a much deeper spectrum that for some odd reason demands continuation of the organism. I'm baffled and I am curious.

Me (after my first months of meditation): so that’s why I don’t see any change , I’m still a negative person .

For me it tastes like a slight burning of saliva almost

It has to be experiential not intellectual.

It is related though. LOL,, isn't meat eating a kind of 'vampire' deluded self centered behavior ? Herbivores and Frugivors naturally possess an herding wider awareness and group consciousness.
