Guided Meditation: "No" with Love; Intro to Mindfulness Pt 2 (2) The Hindrance of Aversion

[@ErinBenefiel-g4z]

Gil, this meditation helped me greatly yesterday. I am driving home to a stressful situation. This meditation helped me to wrangle in the negative future thoughts when I could redirect. Because I don't want to cause myself harm before I assess the situation. Nor do I want to fantasize "future harm" in the way of imagining a verbal disagreement. I was saying "no".

thank you, Gil. Saw very clearly regarding my mother's cruelty and abuse and rejection and with the death of my older sis ,(she was my mom figure in my life and she and I grew up together and learned how to not fall for mom's manipulations and we protected each other and my younger sister from her abuse as much as we could ). Then to be rejected from the rest of my family through my mother's and younger sister's lies and manipulations after my Father's and Stepmom's deaths (was very close with them and it was my honor to care for them and to be with them through their last days and moment in this realm). Wow...very enlightening to look at the aversion and my avoidance. Never had the hatred or ill will, but recognized my heart closing as a child and got myself into a foster home. But as an adult, through the loss of my dad and step mom and experiencing the other's criminal acts around Dad's estate and being exposed to their hostility and ill will constantly, including them even telling me that they wished me dead, and then shunning me completely. Wow, still no hate or ill will, but huge experience of aversion and tightening, and a lot more. It's been a lot. Sitting with it with this much attention and love was much appreciated. Slipping into comfortable clothes, the comfy cozy loving feeling here❤️🙏 I hope by sharing this it will encourage others. Sending love and light❤️🙏

Sorry had a meeting, today mediation actually went off of yesterday mediation of wanting and not wanting today I've seem to be neutral with not wanting/wanting, although I was looking for something solid and it didn't seem to be anything, is that what it is ? Maybe just getting better with breath don't know
