Can't sit still...

Been doing Holosync for about a year now, and there are some interesting things I'm just now beginning to notice. 


I can't sit still!! This has been something I've noticed from the beginning, and I'm curious to know if others have trouble remaining still for an hour. Some days I can sit in burmese posture for an hour no problem.  I've read accounts of zazen which talk about not moving a muscle for long periods of time. Although I don't think this limitation is necessarily a problem, it is interesting to me, and I wonder if it's purely a physical discomfort thing, or something else.

Second, it's really hard to keep track of my breath. Not that this is a goal of Holosync, but it's something I've been experimenting with lately.  Today, for example, I think I was able to count my breaths up to about 21 or 22, then I lost track.  I usually lose track before I get to 10.  I don't know why I started trying to count lately, but now I'm fascinated with the fact that I lose track so quickly.

I heard Ken Wilber say recently that if he were going to give someone instructions about reaching a higher stage of development, he would tell them to start counting their breath, and get back to him in 5 years.  It's amazing how different everything looks from this perspective!!
