Thank you FBM. I am not necessarily stressed about it, it's just interesting how powerfully this emotion can overtake. I have always been rather "sensitive", so this comes as no surprise. It's more of a distraction than anything. I have read about folks going to cemeteries and other places where the dead reside in order to come closer to an understanding of death. Intellectually, it makes sense and manifests everywhere all of the time- people die, our beloved pets, deer on the side of the road, everything is subject to this, even these thoughts and emotions. But knowing something doesn't make it any easier. I guess that's why I practice, so that I can get really "into" the experience to find out what about it is so hard to deal with.

Here's another question that is similar, but about practice itself. Is it advisable to practice different types of meditation in a day? I am enjoying this chant, but have already seen how easy it is to become habituated to this practice. Is it a good idea to maybe chant during the morning session, and then "just sit" during the evening session? Is there a conflict in these practices?

Thank you all, cheers!
