00:00 Repetition is a major part of the practice; how can I improve this thought?

04:41 I can think wholesome thoughts

05:54 Thinking of red and green, unwholesome and wholesome

11:47 Remember to take a long deep breath and break the resistance

13:25 Going deeper is delusional: seeing patterns; saying “no” and stopping breathing

18:43 Practice remembering

21:16 Potency, protection, permission; it’s ok to feel good

27:51 Believing old lies; seeing unworthiness; having a choice; right effort

33:13 Feeling contracted - expand the chest; wholesome thoughts

37:37 Staying alone, staying in the green; building up bit by bit

41:53 Going ahead with the practice
