ADVICE

Train Attention So You Aren't Pulled By Thoughts

  • Train attention so intention can choose whether to follow thoughts rather than being pulled automatically.
  • James Low: use a simple breath reference to strengthen staying power against habitual wandering.
INSIGHT

Deconstruct Stories Instead Of Replacing Them

  • The practice is deconstruction not replacement: observe story-building and who tells the story rather than swapping one narrative for another.
  • James Low: thoughts and feelings are gestures of communication, not guarantors of an inner essence.
ADVICE

Let Thoughts Arise Without Editing

  • When meditating, allow thoughts without editing or correcting them; avoid chasing or repressing.
  • James Low: sit as you are, let body and breath be natural, and notice tiredness or attraction without reacting.
