Gentle Untangling
"Oh, what a tangled web we weave
when we practise to deceive!" Walter Scott
Meditation practice is the opposite - a process of untangling. We practice meditation first & foremost to see clearly and engage kindly & honestly with life.
As we begin to see things more as they actually are (rather than as we want them to be), AND as our hearts remain open for longer periods of time, our behaviour becomes progressively kinder. This whole process of awakening has been compared to untangling a ball of yarn - a slow, gentle, patient process.
