The Gate

Dear Stacy,
Just a quick note to check-in and to check whether what I am doing is okay.
I am paying attention to other parts of the body meeting different objects in the same spirit as with the ‘butt exercise’. For example, my shoulder or elbow on the mattress; my cheek on the pillow; my feet on the bathroom tiles when I’m brushing my teeth; my should blades against the back of the couch; my bum on the bicycle seat … and so on. Mostly I am finding that I cannot ascertain a clear dividing line – sometimes it appears that the body part merges with the object, or vice versa.
If okay, I’ll keep doing this but may not post that much – just to let you know that my 100(and a half)-year old mother is dying – it’s all fine but obviously quite involving.
Hope you are well.
Love,
Ruth

Hi Ruth

No. This is not a survey if body parts. This is a simple, quiet meditation on one fact, that there is only one Sensation with no division

am finding that I cannot ascertain a clear dividing line –

Yes. Don't go looking for variety. I know it's boring - until it isn't. Be curious & fascinated.

I will share these other meditations pointers. Be sure to listen to the Introduction.

Thank you, Stacy!
I will proceed as suggested. I'm fine with boring ...
and will do the meditation when I can
