Here are answers to your questions about meditation. 0:46 - Question 1. After meditating, there are times when I doubt whether I meditated properly. I tried to focus on my breathing, but other thoughts kept coming to my mind, so I kept noticing them and repeating them. When I finish meditating, I sometimes wonder if I did it right. At these times, should I just focus on the fact that I meditated without doubting it, believe in its effectiveness, and continue to do it as a habit? Sometimes I feel at ease after meditating, but sometimes I don't, so I sometimes wonder if I'm doing it right. 10:31 - Question 2. I understood that when the heart beats fast, it is perceived as anxiety, causing anxious and negative emotions. How is the fast heartbeat during exercise different from the heartbeat that causes anxiety? I'm curious about the difference between palpitations and heartbeats that cause negative emotions and the fast heartbeat during exercise. (Exercise makes your heart beat faster, but your head feels refreshed.) 13:24 - Question 3. What I'm curious about is, is it also a part of meditation where you need to train yourself to endure physical discomfort without reacting? 16:09 - Question 4. I'm always sleepy and tired, so I want to experience a clear awakening. When I try to meditate, my breathing becomes difficult and other thoughts pop up here and there...and eventually I become sleepy. What should I do? 17:35 - Question 5. What I'm curious about is, people say enlightenment, enlightenment...but no matter how much I search, I can't find an explanation for what enlightenment is, and it's frustrating. Then, suddenly, I think enlightenment means awareness, and I'm wondering if what I'm thinking is correct.
