My expectations
I'm so pleased that I listened to this tonight. The other night I struggled to let go and come home to myself but my breathing wasn't anchoring me like it does. I was fighting to make it be. But my mind wasn't having it. This meditation really helped me to understand that I habitually raise my expectations too high in general, only to be frustrated or anxious. When I couldn't go back to my breathing, I didn't really know what else to do. I needed to hear you in your soothing voice explain it all. And guide me. It's hard for me to be open with the negative part of my thoughts at times. When you said what we resist persists. It certainly does! I found my thoughts bringing up the "bad stuff" from my past even. There was a cloud of it. I did end up meditating on Aura and have made a point to listen to longer meditations now. No more 3 minute stuff like in the beginning. Thank you for this. I will continue to work at not setting expectations and get carried away.
