> That is one of the main goals in many types of meditation, I think. Being able to observe both the thoughts and emotions ebb and flow and not identify with them so much. Have you done much meditation?
Hi Cricket, it's so very nice to see you :-)
Yeah I've done quite a bit of meditation though I tend to go through phases. And oddly enough it seems that when I need it most I do it least. Hmm. I think Buddhists and others refer to crux of the issue as being "attachment". The self awareness and observing bit is being able to see and feel all that is going on but not attach to it - easier said than done though. But I continue to try. So how are you going, do you do much meditation yourself?
