Yesterday I started my meditation with prayer, before I did my 21 recitations of the dandapati prayer, I transcended a little when doing it but not as much as the day before.
then I did integration on some emotion that popped up about the people I miss from high school and basically just the whole high school experience that I miss. I was overwhelmed by the feeling earlier in the day and had observed it for quite some time when it surfaced, but I thought it would be a good idea to observe it a bit more, which turned out to be a good idea because there were still stuff left(and there probably still is).
Then as the last thing I did, I meditated on the fourth avatar mantra.

Did you find what you miss so much? I’m asking because there is always something that has nothing to do with the facts, but only with what we experience. When I feel nostalgic, it is always about my own experience and not the others. Does that make any sense?
It was mostly the people, but it was not only that I miss them it is also suffering caused by the realisation that I rarely tell my feelings unless asked, and that I don’t keep in contact with these people even though I want to.
Ah ok, I get it. I think we don’t really know we suffer from inertia until we have realisation like yours. You can’t change the past, but you can start to express more your feelings. I found it hard to do it with my family, because they all have the same kind of inertia and being with them pull me into this attitude again.
