Trying to love the present.

[RitaJC]

Whenever I try to be fully present, it's like something's weighing me down. It's hard to describe. I go for meditation walks and it's this constant feeling. It's like a general unhappiness or dissatisfaction, mixed with loneliness and... I dunno, some sort of uneasy feeling. I'm not sure how to describe it though, or what's behind it...

What if you would just allow that feeling to be there? And ask: what else is there? What am I seeing (at least 3 things)? What am I hearing (at least 3 sounds)? Is there anything I can smell? What can I touch?
