Medivate — 13 years ago — in Question of the Week
Is there a specific quality to your awareness when meditating? How would you characterize it? Energetic? Neutral? Something else?

Right now, the main quality I experience during a session, especially towards the last half, is a soft, gentle, physically rhythmic sensation which feels like kindness towards my self. Not a lot of anything else like thoughts. Really relaxing and  soothing.

Thats sound really interesting. I'm especially curious about the rhythm. Does it seem related to a physical rhythm in your body — pulse or breath are obvious candidates — or is it something else?
Either way I'm very glad your meditation practice is pleasant for you. Thanks for sharing!
