Does anyone else notice that the quality of their meditation goes through phases? For perhaps 3 or 4 days, for instance, I will find that my meditation might be quite deep, relaxed and centred. Following that, I find that I might be quite distracted and continuously have to drag my attention back to my anchor. Yet again, another phase might pop up whereby I can concentrate fairly well but I notice a bubbling of tension and anxiety rather than relaxation.
I am not making a complaint, of course, as I know it is all just part of the practice. I was just curious if anyone has made similar observations in their own practice?
I guess it is a reflexive response to the ongoings in your day/week, however I also like to think of it as the mind slowly having a good clear out. It's like practice is slowly unclogging the backed-up drain that is my mind
