Meditation

 

Sit and experience your mind.

Experience it as it is,
and notice it.

What is going on?

Watch.
Be there.

You can be there . . .

Listen . . .

Breathe with your heart . . .

Afraid of feeling?
That instinct can betray you.

The way out

is within.
Go into it.

Feelings–
they will not kill you.
Noticing them changes them.
Always.

If something comes up,
you do not have to turn away.
Be there
because it is not solid;
it will not stay there,
things will change.

The pathway to relief
does not come from
trying to fix something
but from trying to understand something.

The secret is at the center of your being.
If you turn away,
you solidify it in your thoughts
but if you can stay there
and look at it,
it dissipates on its own.

Stand closer and closer
to the thing that is
most intimidating,  
within.

Stand as close to the fire
as you can.

Go within.

The antidote is the poison,
the poison is the cure.
