I'm novice to meditation and Buddhism. Apologies if this is silly question
I've been practicing antipasti meditation for few months. While I watch/understand my breath, when a thought arise I use 6 Rs and let it go and come back to breath.
However when meditation gets bit deep while the mind is somewhat still, I come to a deep realization. It's like everything's zoomed in. - Is this an early levels of Vipassana?
Then I get confused that this is a call from my monkey mind so I go back to 6Rs.
Is my practice correct? Bit confused over my approach. Also I don't have a meditation teacher.
Appreciate your feedback :)
