Yay! Great to see you here!! (((((((((lavie))))))))))
I can really relate to what you say above. I didn't know there was a term for it though. That's cool!!
It's really hard for me to let go of certain expectations. For example, I have the expectation that regular meditation "should" make me feel better in all kinds of ways. This is because I've read a lot of studies which show that regular meditation practice really does change the brain. But if I'm not careful, this expectation I have really gets in the way!!!
Thanks also for the link to dharmaseed.org. I will check that out for sure!!
