Hello friends,
Thanks again to everyone who's been talking it up here on the Ecstatic Meditation board. Invigorating and excellent questions, answers, insights and recommendations.
I wrote an article today that some of you may enjoy -- or not! It has to do with the "automatic" function of meditative absorption (jhana/samadhi) in stilling the mind, which occurs as we move in and through second jhana (although, come to think of it, I think it starts while still in first jhana -- these lines are so subjective and nonlinear, yes?).
The second part of the article offers advice to beginning meditators, although these are things that I personally need to review from time to time.
Anyway, here's a link to the article:

Much love,
Michael
