We can speak of feelings as being pleasant, painful, or neutral. Practicing meditation, we discover how interesting it is to look into our neutral feelings. As we sit on the grass with our mind elsewhere, we may have a neutral feeling. But when we bring our awareness to the neutral feeling, we find that it’s really quite wonderful to be sitting on the grass in the sunshine. As we observe the river of our feelings with mindfulness and concentration, we find that many neutral feelings are actually quite pleasant.
