“To feel at home in this body, this mind, this place, this time means owning your own reality as yours—and studying how to handle it, how to be with it, how to express it.
There will be a schedule of practice beginning at six am and continuing through lunch. The afternoons will be free from about 2 – 5 pm, with the possible exception of work assignments or teacher meetings.
The schedule will include seated meditation, qi gong, walking meditation, perhaps some chanting. This is not about having the experience you’d like to be having, should be having, shouldn’t be having, having the experience that will receive approval or rejection for having or not having.
Rather it is awakening to the mind and body of today. It is realizing this body, this mind now. Not that your reality is the truth. Simply that it is yours. For better or worse, in sickness and in health.
It’s what you observe, what you feel, what you think, what you want. It’s being the mother you never had whom you always wanted; being the father you never had whom you always wanted.
