But I do have an irregular meditation practice and had a regular one when I was much younger.. You asked how to not let those things that your mind comes back to bother you\u2026 I believe for me the answer is in acknowledging and accepting the feelings that come up.. See them, be present with them, and try not to judge yourself for feeling that way. Perhaps a focus on self-compassion? I\u2019m sure there is literature on this subject, particularly from the Buddhist perspective. Once a feeling has been fully acknowledged, it ceases to have the same power. Because you begin to know yourself as the observer of the feelings. Your feelings are happening to you but they are not you, you are so much more!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Karla Z.
