Waiting

I get a similar feeling in meditation as when I am waiting for something annoying. Like waiting for the computer to come un-jammed.

Any thoughts on this feeling of waiting? How to make it go away? It has a suffering that goes along with it.

    Seriously, though restlessness is something I suffer from from time to time and you just have to let it be.

    You mean waiting as in 'waiting for the big experience to suddenly occur so that all your problems will disappear forever'?

    Been there, done that.

  • You're waiting for "emptiness" to be filled, when it should just be accepted and let go of.

    A cure for the annoying feeling of waiting is to remind myself that I am in "the waiting place." I might be waiting for a phone call and thinking so much about that that I can feel unsettled. Then I remind myself that I am in the waiting place for that and occupy myself with something knowing that the phone call will come without me thinking about it and I will be a peace until it does.

    It's just a thought. Let it go. Return to the breath.
