Letting It Not Be a Problem

Dejar que no sea un problema

A gentle practice of noticing tension as it arises and exploring what happens when you let it be there without needing to fix it.

Letting It Not Be a Problem

Noticing friction

If there is any sense of friction with what's happening,
any activity around things being different,
notice it as some sense of contraction.
Not just the sensations, but a certain need for the contraction to not be there.
The sense of something not being okay being present.

Letting yourself be absorbed

If none of that is appearing,
or if it seems like some distant activity,
not very strong or present,
just let yourself be absorbed with what is.
All of it, the full experience, including thoughts, all of it.
Let yourself be absorbed.

Meeting friction without problem

And if you get pulled into some little activity around a friction,
contraction,
thinking,
narrative,
just explore this side of it:
that is not a problem right now.
It's not a problem.

There's a contraction, it's not a problem.
Some annoying narrative, it's not a problem.

Letting thoughts be thoughts.
Letting contractions be contractions.
Nothing to get,
nothing to glimpse or understand.

Just tasting this.
