At the bottom of a persisting unwanted condition is some experience that was overwhelming, and one had to deny that it was happening. That experience is now buried deep.
Mental perceptions are relatively fluid, and it is not so easy for a person, who is preoccupied with the daily stress of living, to perceive deeply buried experiences objectively.
Mediating alternately over the following two questions might help.
“What part of your life would you be willing to re-experience?”
“What part of the future would you be willing to experience?”
Meditate over the first question. Experience whatever phenomenon is coming through. Do not dig into the mind; simply wait for the details to come through. Sometimes it may go on for some time. Do not resist or suppress anything. When nothing more is coming up, switch to the other question. Continue back and forth between these two questions as long as things are coming up.
If something difficult comes up that you tend to stick in, simply do the following:
Spot when that phenomena first occurred in your experience. Experience whatever phenomenon is coming through. Meditate as above. Just make sure you have spotted the time of the first occurrence of that phenomenon correctly. When nothing more is coming up, move back to the question.
