Why so serious?

My practice changed dramatically when I let go of the “rules,” and stopped treating meditation like something I had to "win at." So I began to practice with a sense of play...

Engaging with a sense of lightness
Being willing to experiment and try new approaches
Not seeing the practice as “work” or a task to be checked off a list.
