I made a perhaps lame attempt at trying to make a comment about selling ice cubes to eskimos. I only speak for myself.
I didn't realize Lakshmi's post was a quote from this site. It felt like a sales pitch, and there is a message in it, and energy to the message. The above post sounded to me like Lakshmi was the company offering this.
As an intended offering to help on Lakshmi's part , that is certainly different.
When I experience difficulty in my meditation focus, I see value in that. I sometimes see doubts or anxiety's that come up, or self judgement. I consider that valuable to experience. It tells me something about where I am at. It is a reflection of me. I then use the tools given in the practice, to work with where I am at. AS far as difficulty/motivation in maintaining a consistant practice, I found it useful in my beginnings of establishing a practice, to redefine to myself, the word work, to a positive.
I also have some yin/yang cufflinks I'd like to move.
love,
gallen
