Snow day. I was the only one in class today.
During this morning’s mini-vipassana, I sat for 50 min resisting desire to move. I asked the question: Why do I feel strong body sensations (itch, ache, pain) with no apparent reason? I have a theory. Could it be one of the ways the mind resist stillness or a manifestation of the minds fundamental tendency to perpetuity.
