1Last months I have been trying to do more metta practise. When I do it for myself I find it easier, partly because if I get destacted by my thoughts I can turn the metta or karuna for the thoughts or tensions the thoughts create. I also more clearly feel the effect in my body, which make my thoughts less destracted. But when I try to do metta for others, then I find myself being caried away but my thoughts alot. Often the whole session goes by and I have barely been able to try to do metta for the other person because of being caried away by thoughts and emotions. Do you have any suggestions of how I can deal with this?

2When you take the 8 precepts, and you live with a partner, what counts as sexual activity? Is it all physical contact, or is hugs hugs/kisses ok? Or is it more about the intention/mind state that you are in that counts rather then the exact action?

3AN8.83 is puzzling me. Most of it seems to mirror other discourses. But then it goes on to say all things have freedom as their core. I have no idea what that even means... Any ideas on whats going on here? Thank you!! Remy
