Meeting Our Mind Part 1

One ingredient towards building a consistent practice is attitude. The way we mentally frame up the experience of sitting with ourselves and our own minds.

In my own practice and in mentoring others, I notice the sneaky little ways we are unkind to ourselves. Why is it that we can be so at odd with ourselves? Seated practice offers us an opportunity to see the ways we work against ourselves. The subtle ways we turn away from what we may need in any given moment rather than being curious about opening to how we might work better with what is arising.
