Hi, Vinnie.
Sorry I didn’t reply earlier, but I have been busy and no able to check up the site.
I’m very stable with my practice; at this point I cannot conceive giving it up. But I do recognise some of the emotions & thoughts, in particular the judging. In fact, loving-kindness (recommended in TMI) has helped a lot. Have you tried this…[Read more]
