In summary, when the mind is quieted through meditation, charged emotions, thoughts, and visions well up from the unconscious into consciousness. There, they become gross distractions. To overcome them, simply make them the object of your attention, acknowledging and accepting them until they fade away on their own. That’s it! It’s not important to consider why you’re having these thoughts or where they come from. That kind of discursive analysis takes you away from the real work of meditation. In fact, there’s no need to do anything at all.
