For me, meditation started as a way of addressing restlessness and stress, but it has opened the door over time to emotional healing and even access to intuition.
However, the basics remain as important as ever and I have to remind myself to step back at times when feeling stressed and just breath through the nose and belly.
Wow that’s powerful about the basics being as important back then as well as now
It’s the same with learning the drums- no matter how much complicated advanced stuff I could do, I’d always need to go back and practice the simplest of of stuff like the single stroke roll. The less perfect the basics were the further I would slide down away from advanced….
