What a Buddhist monk can teach you about living, read by michelinwoo 🧘🏻‍♀️ Most beginners start with the idea that meditation is supposed to be peaceful. If they feel peaceful, they conclude that they are doing things right. Soon enough, a disturbing thought or emotion erupts. And this is identified as a problem, we do not like disturbances, we start off with this dualistic preference, we want smooth ocean waters with no waves. When the waves come, we say we cannot meditate or we assume that the presence of waves means we are not meditating correctly, but the waves keep coming anyway. Always. It is how we perceive them that changes. 🌊 This Seed for the SOLE has been brought to you by SOLEFUL, a new podcast exploring pathways to wholeness and wellbeing through art, mindfulness, storytelling, sound design, and conversation.
