    @Western Buddha Letting go takes you straight to facing suppressed emotions. You won't be able to let go of wounded traumas that still hurt. But if you keep working on letting go, one day it will actually happen and the wound will be healed.

    So basically the method is to feel what arises and then acknowledge it and then let it go (like a cloud that passing by)?

    @Western Buddha well, naturally you would breathe deeply. If your breath is shallow, there is probably emotional stuff down in your belly you did not face. Maybe a deep inquiry into why your breath is so shallow would help?

    If you are up for it, set up a timer for like 2 hours, sit down and discover what the whole shallow breath thing is about. Don't give up. Ask yourself with your whole being, until you know :) If you are determined enough to know the truth, you will get it, something will release and the breath will naturally deepen.

    ok thank you.

    i kind of know what my problems are. i just dont know how to face them.

    do you think it is beneficial to do breathing exercises? not as replacement but as an addition.

    @Western Buddha I think the point is that you both of your points of view of the past are valid.  It's okay to not know your point of view, because it's all relative. You literally can not make a 'wrong' decision, because 'wrong' is only a perspective which you hold. 

    Yeah i think i get where you are going.

    But it making decision making so hard.

    Once upon a time there was a Chinese farmer whose horse ran away. That evening, all of his neighbors came around to commiserate. They said, “We are so sorry to hear your horse has run away. This is most unfortunate.” The farmer said, “Maybe.” The next day the horse came back bringing seven wild horses with it, and in the evening everybody came back and said, “Oh, isn’t that lucky. What a great turn of events. You now have eight horses!” The farmer again said, “Maybe.” 

    The following day his son tried to break one of the horses, and while riding it, he was thrown and broke his leg. The neighbors then said, “Oh dear, that’s too bad,” and the farmer responded, “Maybe.” The next day the conscription officers came around to conscript people into the army, and they rejected his son because he had a broken leg. Again all the neighbors came around and said, “Isn’t that great!” Again, he said, “Maybe.”

    its a nice story man what does it have do to with my question?

    Hey, I have a question - I've been meditating for 2 years and lately I have noticed that the way I feel and think about situations is changing all the time.
    One day I can think about an event from the past and think it was a disaster and the second day I'm thinking about the same situation and think it was a funny one.
    Like I really feel like I don't know what is my point of view on my past and. That's causing me to be indecisive
    What's going on? could it be because of meditation?

    Because you are under the spell of belief.

    The belief (in a nutshell) is that the revenge would feel better than the sensations. The sensations are being avoided because they are misunderstood. 

    Write two letters. Mail them, or don’t. It doesn’t matter. The expression matters, for you. The raise in consciousness matters a lot, for you. The understanding matters, for you. The release, and the purification matters, for you. Do these things for your own healing my friend. You are worthy and deserving of healing. It is already within you. Allow it. ?♥️

    Then you are in a position to help others do the same, and we’re on our way to days where these misunderstandings, these happenings, are ancient. 

    thanks man! i decided i want to really forgive her!

    I'm afraid to make a decision of forgiveness, I'm afraid that I will regret  not taking revenge in the future. I warned other people, posted posts, reported to Tinder and i even contacted her in person but she didnt really talk to me. 
    I know in a logic way that forgiveness is a better way but for some reason I still can't take a real comitment to it. i cant decide between revenge and forgiveness.When I was 13, I sexually harassed some lady in a bus and i regret it so much, and now I feel like karma has come back to me, if someone I hurt didn't seek revenge on me why do i feel like i have do do it?

    Hey,
    I usually writing my feelings in a diary every morning.
    I'm adding to it some practice of writing the best stuff that came out of bads things that happened to me - my intention is to make myself see the negative incidents in my life as good ones.
    Recently I have been thinking about doing the same with qualities in my inner character.
    For example, I know that I like to compare myself to other humans all the time (and I'm suffering because of that), and I want to write myself every morning why should Istop with this kind of behavior.
    What do you think? will it work?

    What do you think about this topic?
    For me, I have been struggling with depression and anxiety for a long time.
    I'm working on in but it's much more difficult for me to change my state of mind than change my diet.
    So I always had this question: if my diet is really healthy, can I prevent my body from being hurt due to the depression that I feel?
    Right now I am applying a vegan diet that has really rich with antioxidants vitamins and minerals.
    Thank you for any replay.
