Re: Buddhist remedy for stress tremors?
I'm curious if there is any remedy to eradicating this particular physical response before it arises?
There's no quick fix (but when it is happening , grounding your self in the present moment by breathing, will help to reduce the impact)...
However...Thus have I heard for a more effective way... explore the Three Marks of Existence Anicca, Dukkha), and Anatta ...one then has a better understanding ( hopefully an experiential understanding) of how one ticks and in turn this knowledge should help to reduces the chances of becoming ticked off/triggered....

Re: Vassa Dhamma Challenge
I too have been struggling, mostly through losing focus.
I've been exercising haphazardly, mostly not eating "stupid shit", trying to keep the precepts, but drank a concern-inducing 3 times.
@Bunks Lead us forward.

Re: Vassa Dhamma Challenge
Yep I’ve been struggling too. But I make sure I still make sure I say my Bodhisattva vows daily and make a small offering.
Re: Vassa Dhamma Challenge
The struggle-bus tour is over here too @Bunks. Though the heat broke this week so been outside a few times. I'm finding room to meditate while exercising; or at least mindful observation. Something about the body in motion makes mindfulness on things easier right now. I think it was @lobster who said "Sometimes cold showers, sometimes warm showers, sometimes no showers" and that brings me a lot of comfort.
Re: Letting go of games
In fact a game is a mirror, a reflection of all the hangups that you still have, the things that you yearn for from this samsaric existence. That is why it is so enticing, and also why playing mindfully can be such a good lesson. It is an escape, there is no doubt about that, from difficulties and unfulfilled desires and dreams to a puzzle-like half existence where these things can be fulfilled.
