Daily Reflection Sit

Exploring gain, loss and our relationship to these as they arise.

The tides of reputation swing between being well regarded and being disgraced.

Let’s notice & appreciate the small daily pleasures that arise as they are what can offset the pains that will also naturally arise.

Why would we rather not investigate these? Because they disrupt the status quo.

With mindfulness, in whatever situation we find ourselves in, whether joyful or not, a certain amount of stress is inherently there, and it will come to an end, and we can see that we are not in control of the outcome! Once we see these aspects of experience, we can decide how best to proceed.

Further understanding our attachment to our habits.

Experience not only falls away, it also ARISES every moment.

Notice the beginning, middle & end

Kiss the joy as it flies.

“Learn to hold the body and heart with support and care, and the mind will also learn how to hold itself in caring awareness.”

Setting up our practice up as if for the very first time. Body and breath, heart and mind; we orient toward well-being.

We know what it feels like with a loved one, or in nature; let’s import that feeling internally.

Reflection on the relationship between impermanence and gratitude.
