This is exactly what I would like to achieve. Being present. Could you share how you learnt and practiced it? I am trying but failing.

- riazrizvi 13y agoI didn't find a good book, I cobbled this together between a few different books and personal experience. Not sure if it is what you are looking for exactly: I find the benefit in meditating comes from trying to fix how my conscious mind and unconscious behavior are misaligned. The practice starts with switching attention from inner dialogue and visualizations, and moving it to the physical sensations in the body. So you are reading your code, then you silently search around within for feelings. You feel the pressure of the chair on your butt, the air as it moves over the rim of your nostrils, physical feelings like that. Regarding self-regulation, I might notice a scrunched up forehead that I've held for hours, that is tiring me out and completely unnecessary. So I relax it. The more I do it, the more perceptive I become.
