When Things Feel Wrong: a Meditation

Meditate on this observation during the coming week whenever something feels wrong in your life. Here's how todo it. When something seems awry, breathe deeply, pause for a second, and start centering your focus. Repeat three times or until you're deeply aware and intensely in the moment. Now focus on the issue or person or whatever that seems wrong in your life right now. Ah, there! You see, it's not wrong at all. It's the thinking about it that makes it wrong. So let go of the thinking and focus on the feeling of the issue or person or whatever as it exists right now, in this moment. Once you feel the feeling -- be it annoyance, anger, fear, whatever -- be with it for a few breaths. Let it exist as it is. Then, and here's the wonderful part, then exhale and just let it go. You see now? No snowflake ever falls in the wrong place.
