Self Interview #2

 -I sat for 15 minutes, noting the in, out, and pause of each breath, coming back to the breath every time the mind wandered.

-Noted the tingling in my left arm, possibly a pinched nerve.

-I had a continuity of mindfulness for a few hours in the morning but then went into chameleon yogi style

-I listened to a dharma talk, felt urgency, but was still filled with sensual desire.

Verdict: Start again, note and let go whenever sensual desire arises, strengthen continuity of mindfulness with a firm renunciation of gratifying sense pleasures, cultivate an attitude of generosity and loving-kindness and possibly meditate on the bodily “impurities” and elements.
