To me, that could be an obsession of some sort. If you don’t resist it, it will hurt you again. So, try not to pay attention to that and it will soon disappear
I keep going. Try to resist and it goes after a while.
It depends how immersed in the meditation I am. If I’m focused, I can usually just move my attention away from the itch. If I’m already having trouble concentrating, I will scratch it because it’s only going to make it more difficult and ruin what could have been a few moments at the very least of practice.
I allow myself to itch as it keeps my mind more focused on the now then getting distracted by something I wish I could solve. I want my body to be comfortable and being able to satisfy an itch can help accomplish that.
Aim to ignore it and focus on breathing. Scratch if the itch makes it impossible to concentrate
Either recognize the thought, don’t label it as good or bad, and just allow it to be there- it’s ok thoughts wandered, but be aware or just scratch it and focus again after.
I started doing a lot of sport recently, I lift weight and run, and spend my days more centered even in the meditation sessions. Just do sport and the inconveniences will go in the background. You can also try to just scratch, there’s nothing wrong in adjusting your position or pause two seconds. The main idea is to meditate and learn to concentrate nothing says no scratching ^^. Good luck.
I’ll simply take care of it. Itchy body will make you diverted and gets you out of focus. So I’ll take care of it and get back to my meditation routine immediately. These all could be unconscious resistance of mind to avoid focus. In any similar case I acknowledge and handle the case but will be supportive of my self (not critical) and resume the process.
I try and block the itch, if that doesn’t work then I scratch quickly and then I will continue to meditate.
Try to ignore it by concentrating on your breath. If you feel you have to do something against the itching do it and do not punish yourself for it.
