The meditation traditions I started and have continued practicing have all emphasized inclusivity: anyone can do this who is interested.
Sharon SalzbergThe art of concentration is a continual letting go. We let go of what is inessential or distracting. We let go of a thought or a feeling, not because we are afraid of it or because we canโt bear to acknowledge it as a part of our experience; but, because it is UNNECESSARY.

Sharon SalzbergPatience doesn't mean making a pact with the devil of denial, ignoring our emotions and aspirations. It means being wholeheartedly engaged in the process that's unfolding, rather than ripping open a budding flower or demanding a caterpillar hurry up and get that chrysalis stage over with.
