A 15 Minute Meditation For Patience And Resolve

Meditation itself directly urges the development of this type of patience. It’s not that we’re relaxed every time we sit to meditate, it’s often quite challenging. Our bodies or our minds can feel a sense of discomfort or unrest. And then for a few minutes, we actively practice noting that experience and letting it be. Instead of relying on our typical actions or thoughts or habits, we pay attention to whatever might trigger us and choose to let go of the hook instead. Other times we may decide that there is something skillful to be done, but for a few minutes we practice patience with whatever is causing us discomfort in this moment.
