“What I like about Taoist meditation is that there's no analysis, no story to get into. I can just keep dissolving anything that comes up. It seems to me, for the first time in my life, that I can be aware of something when it comes up and release it, but I don't have to take it apart. It's very freeing” JoAnn T.
