What to track in your meditation journal

Try for 30 minutes total. 15 minutes on each meditation. Each meditation three times over three days.
Write down:

  1. Topic.
  2. The meditation time and session length.
  3. What % did you feel you were on the object or note how many times your mind left the object.
  4. The quality of your mind during meditation. (For example: Great intensity. Scattered. The meditation object appeared dull).
  5. Something you learned. Simple or profound realization. Short, so you are more likely to do it.
  6. Resolution about what to do next time you meditate.

Write after you have finished your session so its fresh, and of course, not during!

This Meditation Course is possible due to the kindness of Lama Christie McNally, who translated Bhavana Krama into English, prepared the teachings, and transmitted the lineage at Diamond Mountain University in Fall of 2005.
