Rule 3: mindfulness pays dividends
My latest sessions, where I feel I've grown enough to understand the patience I need for my success, have me believing I understand new things about my physicality as I progress in meditation. I actually feel progress and the meaning thereof.
While I can't say answers come for others as they come for me, I can say better: mindfulness IS an answer. Feeling completely aware and in control of/monitoring your physicality means you know enough to tell your body if you need to do otherwise, or if you are missing out on emotions. Imagine feeling no clench to your gut? Or already not feeling your thoughts?
