I also wonder if I'll find the world noisier if I keep on pursuing the meditation path.Yoginihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09483919150641771008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4499398322302495158.post-38866726413990683662011-02-06T04:35:10.867+01:002011-02-06T04:35:10.867+01:00Thanks for commenting Nobel.

So I rely on meditation and changing my perspectives to find a way to not automatically have an emotional response. After all, my family still helps me out more than any of my friends when I really need it.Yoginihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09483919150641771008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4499398322302495158.post-41805266571354285382011-02-06T02:19:39.489+01:002011-02-06T02:19:39.489+01:00I know nothing about Tibetan Meditation, but I cer...I know nothing about Tibetan Meditation, but I certainly can relate to your family relationship issues, especially the part about people trying to tell me what to do/micromanage every aspect of my life. Like you, I also tended to keep quiet and feel rage and annoyance build up. But at some point I realized that this was getting neither me nor my family members anywhere. So at some point, I basically blew up and gave a few people a piece of my mind! Which wasn't pleasant. But looking back, I think it was for the best, because now the cards are on the table, and people know what I want better. I attribute this ability to blow up to my yoga practice, as strange and unyogic as this might sound. Actually, it's not really unyogic: I once heard a famous yoga teacher say that one of the first siddhis one acquires is the ability to say what you mean and mean what you say. So maybe I'm getting there :-)<br /><br />Sorry for all this irrelevant rambling. You can go back to whatever you are doing now :-)Nobelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00655577410721103577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4499398322302495158.post-42607704011883515792011-02-05T19:51:45.818+01:002011-02-05T19:51:45.818+01:00Haha that's not me.

I am constantly in a deluded state around people who can push my buttons. All 21 teachings of the Lamrim are great tools for creating a meditation practice. Good luck!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
