How do we keep the work of sitting still & learning our own minds joyful? How do we remain curious through boredom, fear, or frustration?

One of the most common frustrations that comes up with a meditation practice is the oh-so-irritating, “I CAN’T STOP THINKING?!”

As we explore joy in our meditation practice this week, I want us to notice that it isn’t the thoughts themselves that cause suffering. It is how we FEEL about our thoughts that causes this discomfort. In this week’s podcast, we talk about finding stability within instability, non-attachment and turning around to meet your thoughts.

“The bad news is you’re falling through air, nothing to hang onto, no parachute. The good news is, there is no ground.”
