Zazen Ride

[Jinyu]

Re: Zazen Ride

Sometimes when I sit I get the feeling that I am spinning in all directions, and it sometimes makes me feel like I am going to fall off my pillow even though I am sitting pretty firmly. Is this something that should be let go, ignore, or checked out?

Hi!
I have exactly the same impression of of falling or disequilibrium sometimes! And like you said it the sitting is quite firm in these moments...
Ordinary, I don't pay attention to them ... It never happened to me before 20 or 25 minutes of Zazen and (for me) it is always associated with a bad posture or a very one pointed/narrow concentration...
But see for yourself, experiment... and tell us!

Hope it help a bit!
