I sat upright, willing my mind onto my breath, when my nose began to run. I’ve always taught meditation students to just sit with things like an itch or an ache, experience the body, deeply, breathe into it. Explore it. Not will it away or move to pacify any discomfort while meditating. Like uncomfortable thoughts you notice in the mind, just sit with the body as it is. Just be? Not through your will.
