I remember Alex talking about a similar experience regarding feeling like wanting to be a baby and the lack of safety associated with growing up, and that this was a fairly common experience (with varying interpretations / descriptions in Buddhist circles). Do you think that your thoughts were influenced by him talking about this with you? Or that you would have (or did) come to this line of thinking on your own?
Hmmmmm... I think it certainly influenced me, but I've heard that people can often revert into newborn/ much younger selves during psychedelics or meditaiton.
I’m a little confused by the schedule. There are 5 bullet points that say 1 hour of meditation, but you say you meditated for 6 hours. The time span covered by those bullets (if one assumes that the first bullet in the section is a start and the second is an end), is 6 hours (7-9 and 1-5), but then that leaves gaps in the schedule…
Oops, dropped an hour of sitting meditation, thanks for catching!
The gaps were "the six hours of heavily suggested 1 hour walking meditations, but I made the executive decision to not do them". I didn't feel like I should include them when I didn't actually follow through haha

Ah, that makes sense! Thanks for the clarification!
