Let's get curious!

Hope you're all well!

Mindful is a site I visit regularly. Loads of articles etc about mindfulness & meditation.

Here's one about cultivating curiosity -

Curiosity can be used as a way to inquire into our experience—the joyful and painful alike. Curiosity may allow us to begin to level the playing field of our lives so we don’t have to excessively privilege one experience over another. It just takes some of the dys out of dysregulation, smoothing out our internal psychological rollercoaster as we are faced with moments that can take us to ecstatic heights and ones that may take us into an abyss. In the words of Martine Batchelor, a teacher and former Buddhist nun, we can begin to ask, “What is this?” We are not looking for a specific answer but rather using the question as a method of experiential investigation.

When in a deeper meditation it is possible to mindfully ask question without attaching to the thought. But this are often done after the mind is fully siilent, if questions are asked to early in the meditation, the consentration will more easy get lost and no answer will arise.

When a meditator enter the 4 jhanas the mind is so silent that even the 5 senses has stopped and even before the mind react to a thought, the answer will lay "in front of" the meditator.

The curiousity is far gone, and even the tiniest movment in mind feels like a thunder, because everything has stopped.
