""We can express our

""We can express our willingness to face the reality of our lives through the practice of meditation. The practice is not an attempt to achieve ecstasy, tranquility or prompt spiritual attainment. It is an exercise in holding space for ourselves in an effort to undo our personal neurotic patterns, untie the knot of our own suffering, examine our fears and realize our dreams. We do this by the seemingly antithetical act of, frankly, doing nothing ""

Its taken much time for me to understand that " do nothing ". I think I created many holding spaces, but not to face reality, but to keep me from suffering. The results, ineffective. This space,
yes it contained me, kept me from hurting, suffering,
but it also kept me from laughing, smiling. The same spaces that I created decades ago for survival
imprison today. So, its very deep, been very hard to understand " do nothing ", used to anger me because I attached it to the " neglect " , but my awareness internally and externally is increasing and
ooh yes, doing nothing, free's me..........

thank you
