Quite often meditative practices are presented from the point of view of full-time meditators, who have committed a sizable block of time and energy to meditation, making it their vocation. What about the rest of us who have to juggle various life responsibilities and social commitments while still interested in pursuing meditation? In this Deepening Meditation series, we will specifically look at what is possible and accessible for the regular (and irregular) meditators living in a busy city like Sydney, that does not require us to go on long, solitary retreats or hours of practice daily.

Entering into Wobbly States of Meditative Concentration – 5th in the series

The various states of absorption of our attention into objects that we find captivating are surprisingly more common than we may have imagined. Such absorption experiences are wobbly because they are not all that stable. Their supporting conditions may assembly for only short durations of 10-15 mins and the experience may be marred by various imperfections, such as sounds intruding, wispy thoughts flowing in the background and so on. Nonetheless, they represent an accessible meditation goal for many of us non-professional meditators that we will explore in this workshop and also how familiarity may help to stabilize them, leading to ever-deepening experiences of meditative concentration.
