#channel/bodhi-light-teachings  If the thought of anxiety arrives, the thought of depression arrives. I say, "I'm feeling so bad. I'm so depressed. I'm not happy." Any kind of thoughts, negative thoughts in particular. We have a lot of negative thoughts that will pop up in our minds when we meditate. And meditation teaches you just to not react to those thoughts. Don't hang on to those thoughts. Don't grab those thoughts and add fuel to the fire. Those thoughts arise, and what happens when you shoot an arrow into the sky? What happens eventually? It will have to fall down. It's nothing. You don't have to do anything. Any thought that arises in your mind will have to die down by itself.
