ANECDOTE

My Mother And The Neighbor Cat Show How Grievances Grow

James Low shares his mother's petty neighbourhood battles over parking and a cat defecating by her rose bush to show how small grievances expand.
He uses that memory to illustrate how conceptual narratives harden into personal suffering.

ADVICE

Let Go Of Self Templates To Stay Fresh

Practice releasing the template of who you think you are by observing momentary self-claims and letting them dissolve.
James Low: each time you let go of a concept and remain present you find freshness and reduce reification of self.

ADVICE

Match Practice To Your Current Embodiment

Tailor practice to your current embodied state: be active (dance, pranayama) if lethargic; sit open if you can relax and receive.
James Low: work with circumstances rather than force a single technique on every situation.
