How do you use the rating/comment system here?

I'm not even sure how to rate meditation sessions on a scale of 1-10, much less figure out what to say abou them. What are other people doing?

     Well, my ratings start first with the fact of making it through my thirty minute session.  If I do it's automatically a 6.  Beyond that, 7 is pretty average, 8 is really great; 9 is catching a boat on this side of the river, and 10 is crossing over and leaving the boat behind.  As you might expect, a 9 is on the verge of 'enlightenment' and 10 is 'gone beyond'.  For me, an 8 is really a great session.  Hope this helps.  Blessings!

I suppose I ought to further define 'Really Great' (8).  That would be that I maintained complete awareness on my breathing throughout the session and complete detatchment from all intrusive thoughts.  Hope this clarifies my rating system a bit more.  Blessings!
