Concentrative meditation involves narrowing one’s awareness to a specific point of focus, such as a mantra, a breath, a sound, or a visual image. Mindfulness meditation involves expanding one’s awareness to the present moment, without judging or reacting to any thoughts, feelings, or sensations that arise.

Vulnerability can facilitate self-transcendence by creating an opportunity for growth, learning, and transformation.

Did you know, every one of my early voices ended up being thoughtforms created due to past trauma? They were angry at me, and liked to insert negative thoughts and emotions into my mind on the quiet.
