So let's begin.
Take the time soon find whatever posture best
supports your body.
You few nice deep in and out brat.
Feeling
the
alive
of the potty,
and the
invitation for the mind, body, and heart
to
meet again in this moment now.
Matt, welcome
that we extend
the
organization, hopefully, with all of us. We all
can feel that. That's what we're looking for
in our practice.
So 1 of the most useful ways I
find
starting any practice
Is this really opening
wide,
deep
inward?
What's here right now for you?
This body, mind and heart
with all of its elegant
design
so easily
entangled.
The living this life, complicated
life.
That low battery.
Recharge soon.
That is what we are doing,
and we do it by this
finding a way to let down the guard
and greet with love and care.
With wisdom and kindness
whatever's here right now for you.
Not as we think it should be
not as we think we should be
really radical willingness
to meet ourselves as we are in this
moment
is
From the early buddhist nun,
Victor.
When everyone else was meditating
I'd be
outside circling
the hall.
Finally, I went to confess.
I'm hopeless,
I said,
The elder nun smiled.
Just keep going. She said,
nothing stays in orbit forever.
If this circling is all you have
Why not make this circling in your home?
It did that she told me and went
on circling the hall.
If you find yourself partly in
and
partly out.
If you find yourself drawn to this path
and also drawing away.
I can assure you you are in good
company.
Just keep
going.
Sometimes the most direct path
isn't a straight line.
Just keep going.
Sometimes
the most
direct
half,
isn't
a straight line.
Does it like to hear that
invitation in this moment? Right now.
The most direct line
isn't
a straight path.
Mindfulness is not how I think I should
be.
It's in that willingness
to meet myself as I am,
where I am
right now.
What's here for you?
How do you acknowledge,
validate,
offer a breath?
And come back home
Whatever practice
most speaks to you this morning.
Remember this invitation
in all of the moments.
And this practice
is not a straight line
yet our meeting of ourselves where we are
moment by moment.
Is the direct path.
