Aware to Fix Something

[Guest guest]

Q: Even in mindfulness meditation, the tradition in which I was

trained, this sense of trying to fix something exists. Even though I

try to be aware of it, I am being aware in order to fix it.

 

 

A: You're constantly trying to fix yourself, and in doing so, you're

actually creating the problem. When you see that complete loop, then

you're just left holding the paradox. That's all. There's nothing to

do with it. It's a state of beingness that makes most of us very

uncomfortable. Just be with a condition that's not broken and not

fixable -- and imperfect.
