Meditation Now or Never

Let your past inform your life, not hold sway over it. Draw upon your past only as you need to, as experience and learning that can be helpful in this moment.

But we can see them in a radically different light—at which point they cease to be problems.

If we’re stuck in our problems, it’s because we’re trying to run from them—and from our life.

Negative emotions under wordless observation cannot last for long.

We let them come up, observe them fully without commenting, and let them fade away. That’s all.

We can’t escape problems.

It’s in realizing it directly—that is, in feeling it fully without adding thought to it or interfering with it—that we can truly let it go.

Simply feeling bad at times is normal. So is simply feeling good.

Thoughts will naturally drop away if you don’t hang on to them, don’t build them into something.
