Notice Your Success — or Lose It

Summary

, 12 min

Why noticing what actually shows up in one's own meditation matters more than measuring it against stories in books or other people's accounts. Two ashram downloads frame it, and a yogini who envied another's vision of a crown lotus turns out to feel the same opening kinesthetically. Closes on gratitude and leaving left-brain stories for the present.
