Believing thoughts to be facts caused me a lot of suffering. For me, meditation is an ongoing process of letting be, observing how changing thoughts, emotions and sensations arise and pass within unchanging awareness, and discovering an essence, both in formal meditation and in everyday life.

 

Giving voice to ingrained story lines using journaling and art activities such as collage, drawing, painting and mixed media has deepened insight into my story lines and loosened deeply held beliefs of what is real.
