Sitting down to meditate you might get caught in the idea that you need to fix something - that something is wrong and meditations job is to produce a certain state. Instead, it can be helpful just to be curious about where attention is at any moment and to gently return it to rest in the body if it's wandered.

If you're going to FarCon next week, on the Saturday you could go and learn from a great meditation teacher at 09:30 and be free by 15:00. What a blessing it'd be to be in NYC! https://henryshukman.com/events/nyc-daylong-may-2025

I’ve been regularly fasting on a Monday and it’s been pretty good. Mental clarity is good and I get into some pretty wild places when i meditate fasted. However cannot wait for dinner.

Meditation practice: Volume all the way up- close your eyes and hear the waves and breathe. *Waves captured this AM during ocean walk. I hope these 20 seconds brings you some peace today. Replay if needed 🙏🏾

“Wisdom invite us to take a breath, to step out of the body of fear, and to recognize that the world is not a problem to solve, but a living organism to which we belong. Loving awareness says, ‘Take your seat, open your heart, and step into the vast, timeless reality of love.’” Jack Kornfield

The path of pausing ~ Pema Chödron “The primary focus of this path of choosing wisely, of this training to de-escalate aggression, is learning to stay present. Pausing very briefly, frequently throughout the day, is an almost effortless way to do this. For just a few seconds we can be right here. Meditation is another way to train in learning to stay, or, as one student put it more accurately, learning to come back, to return to being present over and over again.”

day 1 of giving meditation a shot (again). i really hope that i don’t give up easily this time. if anyone’s got suggestions/tips that can help me form this habit successfully, i’d love to know what helped you when you got started or even if you failed to form the habit the first time and then tried again and succeeded. 🥺💙

Experiencing your life through thoughts is like experiencing dinner by eating the menu I’ve found cold showers to be a great example of this. Are you experiencing the bright, crisp cold? Or are you experiencing your brains interpretation of those sensations as a bad thing?

GM all! I ask you: “How do you know you have a right hand? Or any body part?” One of my intentions today is to remind myself to just be. Redirecting the “see-er” to the being, the feeling. Therein lies the peace we seek. All the best, and have a beautiful day! 💙
