Daily Reflection Sit

It is our relationship to thinking that creates mental distress.

Settling back into the mind-body-heart eco-system.

Anicca dukkha and anatta, is another way of understanding the world we live in. “Nothing personal but everything changes!” Let’s savor the ease and let go of the stress.

We can’t transcend them, but we can lighten up around them.

These are the weather patterns we get caught up in and swept away by! Navigate out of the extremes….

Stand amidst the extremes.

Ride the inflation and deflation waves with a light touch.

Allowing the currents to pass through.

How were you raised to receive praise, positive attention, feedback, and compliments?.... Mindfulness invites us to stay present and receive. GROUND, BREATHE & RECEIVE appreciation and gratitude.

Exploring the complexity of offering something we all need: validation.

Appreciating the inherent truths of Impermanence - the arising and the passing of the earthly winds generated by Praise and Blame.

Offering feels good…. Just like receiving praise feels good. It’s a win-win situation. Take your stand in the present moment and offer words of appreciation whenever possible!

Appreciating the challenge of managing our reactivity when blaming or blamed.

Blame is the assignment of responsibility for a fault or wrongdoing. Is it true or not? Are you at fault in any way? Check it out. Blame helps us see where we may have been unskillful. Take responsibility for your own actions. Own the skillful and the unskillful and respond accordingly.
