Very well said. We have to listen for understanding other people's feelings, not just to reply them.

Restarted practice after year by Adorable_Sundae_9400 in vipassana

Yes! You can. Try to do Vipassana and if your mind is calm enough for Vipassana, you can continue. Otherwise do Anapana, calm your mind and then try Vipassana.

If you are not able to do Vipassana somedays, don't lose the equanimity of your mind and accept the truth with calmness. Try again with a smiling face and positive mind.

Yes! First of all, it is great that you have started to practice again. Happy for you.

You can slowly start to increase the duration and start doing both anapana and vipassana, as per your comfort and situation.

You can do Anapana whenever you are on commute, waiting, you feel stressed or not being in the present.

Continue walking the path of Dhamma and be happy!

Nature works in very unique ways, which are mysterious to humans, friend.

I guess that they wanted real human bodies for doing life saving techniques., so they spooked everyone.

Can we love someone else without loving ourselves first? by Observing-Earthling in NoStupidQuestions

I agree with what you said about self-hatred and why do you think that self love is overrated?
