I am learning about meditation. Reading the posts get me more curious about Long Meditation.
In SFQ Level I, the two meditations have ending exercises. What happen in a group meditation if someone wants to end his/her meditation earlier? Doing the ending exercise, wouldn't that be rude to the others who are still meditating?
I suppose if someone can do long meditation he/she is able to achieve "emptiness", the external movement will not distrub him/her.
Does that also mean the physical body will be able to withhold that long? My understand of fasting is drinking water and no solid food.
Sorry, these questions are a bit off from the spiritual level of meditition.
