Thank you for that nice article! After reading, I grabbed onto the pine cone on my living room table that I totally forgot about since I've put it there last autumn. The texture was very pleasing (...damn, I've put a label on it!) and all I could think of was the nice day I've collected that pine cone with my wife (oops, mission mushin failed)...
...I wrote this comment without hesitation and correcting though ;)
Christopher! Thank you so much for sharing your experience. I loved reading it. Wish I could like it twice!
Firstly, there is no failing, only wisdom arising 😉
It always surprises me how challenging experiencing the experience can be-especially when a lovely association has already been attached to it ✨
As you know, some meditation practices use „labelling” as a way of keeping a steady focus. Others like open awareness allow students to rest in a state of spaciousness. What I like about this playful meditation is the emphasis on the sensory integration-but you said, it’s tricky not to attach any narrative to them 🙊
Wishing you and the pine cone continues exploration ✌🏼🙂
