Observing your thoughts, feelings & sensations is the grist of the practice.
We all have issues and we have usually come by them honestly.
We must accept the reality that the causes of impatience travel a two-way street.
While meditating we are simply seeing what the mind has been doing all along.
The practice of lovingkindness can uplift us & relieve sorrow & unhappiness.
Accepting the reality of change gives rise to equanimity.
