I regret missing it. My experience of distraction is very varied. Sometimes, I can notice my mind drifting towards distraction as it happens. Sometimes I get carried off on a long chain of thoughts, some of which I can backtrack the way Rob taught us. So that way, there is a sense of the distraction being longer or shorter. Your point is of course that we have a thought (more likely a negative judgement) about that. But then we notice that too, don’t we? I also wonder whether or not Drupon Rinpoche talked about meditation without a ‘support’. Am happy to hear more about the week in February.
