I think it's very helpful to have an auditory guide.</p> <p>Teresa </p> http://www.meditationvillage.ca/community-forum/topic/me-bad#post-37 Mon, 21 Dec 2009 13:04:52 +0000 YeShey 37@http://www.meditationvillage.ca/community-forum/ <p>Dear Teresa,</p> <p>Welcome to the forum. We look forward to your input! </p> <p>One of the things that I think is really important to involve with any practice is joy. If we do things with joy, they will take on a simplicity and natural ease on their own. When we add a degree of guilt or failure or any type of negative emotion, the practice takes on the same negativity.</p> <p>For many of us it takes a long time to get started and even longer to develop a regular practice. Diligence is key but patience and kindness with ourselves cannot be underestimated.</p> <p>In Dharma,<br /> YeShey </p> http://www.meditationvillage.ca/community-forum/topic/me-bad#post-36 Fri, 18 Dec 2009 17:56:20 +0000 Teresa Trower 36@http://www.meditationvillage.ca/community-forum/ <p>Thank you so much for sending the reminder email. I am starting tomorrow! They say meditation helps you develop discipline and obviously I need it!<br /> I think that a.m. will work best for me so I'll commit to that for the moment. </p>
