Meditation - How to Begin Again

When we practise meditation, one of the things we learn is how to begin again. We're practising a willingness to simply return to the present moment without judgement or disappointment. And it's always possible to recover this freedom no matter what happensi let's say you notice you're distracted, and rather than just observe the next sound or sensation, you're immediately plunged into self judgment. The only way to truly forgive another person or onesself is to restart the clock in the present. So the practice is to stop telling ourselves a story about what has been happening and to fully connect with experience in this moment.
