Thank you! I have found myself becoming irritated with “bad” meditation. Which then puts more stress on myself the next time, when I try harder. But that works me backwards. To meditate is to NOT try. Thank you so much!

Thank you, Doctor K, for this psychic realignment and for chasing away the self-criticism demons, those persistent devils. Joyful Thanksgiving to you, and I hope to be back on the cushion next week.

Thank you for this information. I LOVE it, and it clearly explains more about why I don’t have mind chatter. I’m a “bubblehead”, and grateful for that. LOL:>) Not having engaged in formal education probably is a great gift. I honestly don’t understand why people struggle with the practice of meditation.
Ernest Holmes, in “Science of Mind” writes, there is often “too much theory and not enough practice”. Are some folks trying to fit the practice into a certain theory? Are we trying too hard to think things through and explain too much? Are we more rigid with ourselves than we need to be? Do we have too many expectations? For me, meditation and living a mindful life means letting go of all the theory, thoughts, expectations and explainations. It means being open to information in a new and different way and letting go of what we think we know.
I am grateful to have had a mother/teacher who reinforced the idea of carrying the energy of joy and humor everywhere. As she was moving into a terminal care facility because of a brain tumor that was ending her life, she said: “There’s not enough joy in this place”, and she managed to bring humor, joy, the curiosity of a child and unconditional love with her as she passed from this earth school. She was always in the moment with love and curiosity. I am very grateful for the gift of learning from her:>)

This is so true. It reminds me of what Wayne Dyer pointed out in a video of his–that our bodies just “formed” while in the womb. We can just “be” and let things happen. There are times that we need to just let go of the intellectual side of ourselves and just feel things for a change.

meditation is a good exercise to reallign yourself to be always at the balance,or at the middle.anyway,my own meditation practice is not sitting or following all these theories of science meditation.i simply reallign myself by closing my eyes and meditate on what the Bible is saying about life’s troubles,i just follow the counsel of the forefathers in the Bible,and i listen to my pastor at the church sermons and what God wants me to discern and if it brings God glory honor and praise ,i know that i am putting myself balance.Again,meditation is a good science practice,but there s nothing like meditating the truth of the words of God that can create a miraculous balance and outcome of what were trying to achieve during meditation,for God’s word is very poweful liek double edge sword,when we meditate the word right,we achieve miraculous outcome.thanks!

Blessings to all of you that have responded and to you especially,Dr. K, for easily making the present moment the real deal……so easy to struggle and slip into the judgment demons…..thanks for bringing it all back to our experience as we feel our way through it…..
