Shifting down through layers of feeling. November 16th, 2022
Getting under the stories we tell ourselves.
What happens when you come to meditation with no expectations?
Look around - you have another brain in there
What's in the space between thoughts?
The part of you that your mind cannot alter.
The consciousness we all share.
How we move into spaciousness.
Change the shape of your world.
Can you bring your whole heart to this meditation?
Can you generate some compassion...for yourself?
What if gratitude is simply a level of attention? What if that amazing feeling was available to you at any time? On any day?
We pour gasoline on our anxieties with thoughts and stories.
There's you...and then there is your awareness. You are both in this together.
What happens when you come to meditation with no expectations?
Why does our mind work so hard to keep us out of the present moment...the only moment we have?
How we move into spaciousness.
Joining the lightness of now.
We are engaged in a constant struggle with our mind. What happens when you stop?
Some assembly may be required.
Letting go of the conversation in your mind.
An interview with Misha Glouberman about the art of the difficult conversation.
Attention: the gateway to compassion.
Be the passenger, not the driver.
Just sit, everything else will happen by itself.
See what shifts when awareness steps up.
Invite everything in to your meditation.
No judgement, no commentary, no analysis. Just watch the show roll by.
Tuning into the space between thoughts.
Relaxing into your natural awareness.
There is nothing missing in this moment.
Imagine feeling satisfied with the moment you are in.
