Further to the post included below, regarding the discussion on meditation between Peter Russell and Eckhart Tolle, I
found Peter's 'no technique' explanation very similar in how I experienced an
extremely strong emotion the other day. Feeling a tremendous surge of
anger due to the actions of another person, I suddenly, in the midst
of feeling all this emotion, decided to let go of the story, and dive
right into the actual feeling of it with no judgement, just observing as it
flowed thru my body. It was truly a cathartic experience in that, to my
total surprise, this supposedly 'negative' feeling just naturally left my body in a very short period of
time, much less than, I'm convinced, would have had I continued to buy
into the story, in addition to laying judgement of how I shouldn't be feeling this way.
This experience was beyond liberating, and I realized that the old adage 'What you resist, persists' is a truly telling statement - one that if sincerely practiced, can have a HUGE impact on our own personal evolutionary development as we traverse through this physical sojourn.
