“Let’s let the healing begin!” - Will Hunting

Seriously though, I’ve been meditating for over 20 years and my emotions still get the best of me. That’s exactly why I created this workshop! Tomorrow 12 to 1:30. [link in my bio to register]

As Shakespeare said in Hamlet, “for there is nothing either good or bad, but THINKING makes it so.”

In our workshops this Saturday (5/2) we will learn two different techniques to help us learn from our thinking mind and cultivate more positivity in our life.

The reality is there are only 3 real ways to be with our minds.

The first way to deal with a negative experience is to BE with it. The first question I asked myself when I notice that I’m stressed or suffering is, “ What need is not being met right now?”. So often we are motivated to escape that negative experience as soon as we are in it, that we can’t find the root of the problem. If we can embrace and be with the negative experience, that helps us look for strategies to address that need that is not being met. So, we want to be with the experience, feel the experience, observe the experience.

The second way is we PRACTICE LETTING GO of what is negative with the experience. We’re trying to help drain that negative energy out of the body. Breathing ourself back to the moment. We “practice” letting go because this stuff is hard work - we can’t just say, “just let it go” and expect it to be quick and easy, happy path.

The third way is to try to LET LOVE IN. Try to find the positive in the experience and let that seep into our awareness. When it feels right to try to replace what we have let go of what some positive alternative.

I can sum up our next workshop in nine words - from three Vedic Sages, The Beatles, The Movie Frozen, and The Goo Goo Dolls. 🙏❤️☘️
LET IT BE. LET IT GO. LET LOVE IN.

This self awareness is an essential dimension of our being that’s always with us. It’s not like a spell we have to conjure up.🤣🤣🤣

Start small.
Catch yourself in one moment today that you usually rush past. Before you pick up your phone... catch yourself.

Notice the urge.
Notice the habit.
Notice how automatic it is.

That moment of awareness is your meditation. Now, can you sit in that moment without immediately opening your phone? Try it just for a handful of seconds and notice how it feels.
