You can choose to listen to them, or you can use your reactions as a way to discipline your mind and work through them. And you can also read little by little, or read something else. Those sutras produce an ...

Re: Dealing with the Blues through Practice

Take the sun, and if there is no sun, use a luminotherapy lamp. It works very well. Some people feel bad, but give them enough light and all the dark clouds will dissolve.

You csn chant mantra while taking the sun/lamp.

To remember the mantra is a form of recitation.
You recite the mantra. After some time the mantra is there on the background. The mantra recall you. It is like a resonance with you, always.
