Flowing with Thoughts and Feelings
Instead of resisting our thoughts and feelings like trying to stop a river's flow, it is more beneficial to flow with them. By guiding them gently, we can influence their direction without trying to halt them. Understanding that thoughts and feelings are natural flows, we can observe their birth, lifetime, and disappearance. This practice allows us to navigate our perceptions with awareness, leading to a sense of peace and control.
