watch time: 37 minutes
the way you see things determines your entire reality.
so of course it's pretty important how you see yourself.
in this guided meditation i'm going to lead you through a brief study of the breath, the body, the emotions and the thoughts. then, finally, we'll relax into the ultimate perspective on all of them.
this is the most direct way to "zoom out", which enables you to hold things lightly.
holding things lightly, it's easier to let them go.
letting go is freedom.
i hope you enjoyed listening to that at least as much as i enjoyed recording it.
do return to it whenever you need that reminder of who you really are.
i promise, it will make your life easier.
with love from my desk,

Because when you try, you’re saying “I have to MAKE peace happen.” You’re saying “I’m not good enough as I am.” You’re saying “Awakening is in the future.” The beginner can get away with these faulty assumptions, but you’re not a beginner any more. What you must recognize is that peace is your default mode; that who you really are is...
Read the (prettier) web version here. Only 7% of Americans take their new year’s resolutions all the way to December.¹ And that figure is from a survey, which means it’s probably generous (because most people will stretch the truth if they think it makes them look better). New year’s resolutions fail because they’re about forcing yourself to do something you don’t really want to do. But what if you could come around to actually wanting things that are good for yourself and others? It’s not as...
