Hi Yuan;

I should have stated that I was only referring to techniques used while in seated meditation. So, of course, asking one's self this question is good; being mindful of these issues and disturbances as they arise in non-meditation states is good. Sometimes, of course, they only arise in meditation because they just don't percolate above the deeper reaches of one's mind. I did mention using the issue as a meditation object; that may consist of investigating "why". Psychotherapy might be the answer for some who can't access and expose these "wounds" through meditation.

In any event these issues must be dealt with before serious progress can be made. As one of my teachers once suggested, you might do worse than define liberation as being able to answer truly 100% of the time "I'm fine" and totally mean it.
