Episode notes
Find Practice Rhythm That Fits You
- Find a rhythm of short frequent sits or longer sessions that matches your temperament and life circumstances.
- Collaborate with your own rhythms rather than follow rigid external rules for practice.
Non-Distraction Removes Suffering
- Rest in non-distraction so afflictions arise but don't cause suffering; the mirror-like mind allows reflections without harm.
- Treat the mind as a safe pavement where passing thoughts don't force you into the road of reactivity.
Brighten Gently When Mind Is Foggy
- If you feel sinking or fogginess, gently brighten attention rather than struggling; use a slow out-breath to resettle.
- Keep interventions minimal: relax, open and let clarity re-emerge.
