Thank you Suryacitta, this meditation struck an important cord today. The open welcoming of painful emotions breaks something gently open, a shift...a different strength indeed. I will definitely repeat this one too, and practice. I would really like to listen to more sessions on this theme, or maybe a (short) course someday? Acceptance can be quite a struggle at times...

“Gremlins” is what I call mt “little mes.” I’ve sent them on vacation. They didn’t want to leave. I encouraged them that they needed a rest and they could come back. They left. It has felt good. They must be enjoying themselves because they haven’t come back, or maybe they have learned they are no longer welcome. Bye, bye. 👋

Great course! A simple explanation of what it means to be in the “now”. A follower of Eckhart Tolle would appreciate this course. I will be looking for more courses and guided meditations from this teacher. I thoroughly enjoy his authenticity. Love 🙏🏻❤️🕉️
