This meditation provides practices to bring awareness to habits of resistance or aversion (getting angry, impatient, annoyed, etc.) so that we can abandon behaviors and patterns of thought that lead to suffering and unhappiness.

Thank you, Hugh, this guidance reminded me that I can remind myself of my choices in life any time I begin to think I am overwhelmed by a fear or frustration.
Thank you,

Stay with the discomfort and transform it. Before letting go the negative thoughts and feelings to the world, let’s transform them through self-compassion and self forgiveness and transmit what they become with kindness. 💕

I’ve had this meditation saved for a long time. I tried it today and it was a perfect short meditation that I used to address my impatience with a situation.

Thank you for the quote from Camus! It really landed 🌟

Short but potent. It helped me realize I was burying some emotions so it ended in a therapeutic cry. Thank you. 💜

Thank you very much for your wonderful meditation, Hugh.

Thank you for helping me think about thoughts differently.

Great method for dealing with difficult emotions. Instead of running we sit with them and kindly accept what they can teach us. What you resist will persist. Thanks Hugh

Thank you

Wise words bringing conscious thought into my day. Thank you Hugh. 🙏

Glad and grateful this was here. Experienced a periodic impact of tiredness.
thanks

Thank you for leading through these theme with your soothing voice and your amazing wisdom 🙏

Precisely what I was looking for, exactly what I needed to help me focus in on becoming more mindful and aware of making better choices in my behavior to maintain peace and happiness in my life. Thank you!

I love how you teach Hugh. So simple yet profound with a tangible sense of kindness. You seem to get to the nub of human suffering. Many thanks.

I really enjoyed this one just what I needed.

I hear the softness you bring to the many harder, more difficult experiences that rise up in life, and feel the spaciousness of more acceptance and kindness helping me to let go of my habits of reacting with so much heat and harshness. Easy does it..🙏💗

Another beautiful mediation, thank you again so much for sharing 🙏🧘

Very good thank you!!! Helped me so much

Helpful meditation - many thanks. I could manage a longer one with longer silences.

I will definitely come back to this one though.

Thank you. I really needed that. My resistance is a destructive pattern in my life. Self protection can get really out of hand.
