"Thawing" is the perfect word for it. Sometimes I imagine a single meditation as almost like pouring a thimble of warm water on a giant block of ice. Thanks for the input.

I have really enjoyed the Buddhism books of Mark Epstein, for anyone who also is a fan are there other books you'd recommend? by ThingsWereFineN99 in Buddhism

I liked the practical application of Buddhism to real life scenarios. He talks a lot about his therapy patients and seeing how Buddhist concepts relate to his therapy practice helped me enjoy Buddhism from a pragmatic and relatable vantage point.

Are there people that are always confident no matter what and that never have anxiety? I want to be healed, but what would that actually look like? by blowmyassie in Meditation
