It's the fourth day of my personal Rohatsu sesshin. So far, I've been sticking with it.
My usual practice, at least since early August, is to sit every other day. My usual practice, since early September, is for those sits to be 90 minutes long. So my meditation time across a typical week would be 90 minutes, then 0 minutes, and then 90, 0, 90, 0, and 90.
My Rohatsu vow was to sit every day, and gradually increase the time as I went along. So, since Atlas, Day of the Waste Arena, 44th of Hagwinter (Monday, December 2 to you), I've sat for 90 minutes (on a day that's normally 0), 135 minutes, 90 again, and today, 165 minutes. Tomorrow, I'll see if I can't increase the time of those in-between, 90-minute days.
Hopefully, all this will lead up to some sort of mini-marathon on Bodhi Day, Rohatsu itself, Sunday, December 8 (or, Secrets of the Essence Chamber in the Universal Solar Calendar).
Wish me luck.
