A wonderful Christmas gift.

I had slept fitfully, and my son skidded into our room and I awoke with the awareness someone had dived under the bed. I found myself calling out my brothers name. As I woke fully, I realised I was replaying my unhealed, dysfunctional sibling relationship with my son.

Do we need to move on from guided meditations at a point and learn silent meditation practice?

I am still quite reactive still. At the moment I am doing a lot of loving kindness meditations.
