I have reached 200 hours of meditation. 99% of restlessness has been eradicated. I no longer struggle to stay on track or to keep myself calm. Physically I am still but mentally, there is plenty of work to do.
I also understood the way to remove sloth and torpor. It is not by getting up to wash your face or to have a drink etc… It is not an act of removing ourselves from meditation in order to keep our mind fresh. It has to do with how we gently put sloth and torpor aside and focus on our breathing. But beware! There is a fine line between a sleepy mind and an awakened mind!
I am still working with sloth and torpor which is my last hindrance. Practising to sharpen my skill till it all go smooth. Just like the way restlessness was removed. And it has to do with gently letting go and focusing on the breathing with a fully clear mind at the same time. Time would shape it up!
Next target? 300 hours!
