Another report after the HR Retreat.

Since after my retreat in NMC last month, my primary meditation object seems to change to physical sensations: hardness, tingling, pressure, etc. Sometimes sharp momentary pain (like needle poking) is felt in between other sensations. These sensations become prominent after just a short while of observing R/F. Sometimes I purposely ignored these sensations in the very beginning and continue with my R/F, but a short while later these sensations become more intense and I have no choice but to note them. Noting these sensation is very interesting in the beginning, but after some time it is very boring because the arising and vanishing of these sensation is endless . Never ending, only sometime they become less prominent. Sometime the whole hour is just spent on noting these sensation and painful feelings at the end. with some thinking, hearing in between.
