When you re-read a book, you hear and understand different things. Different things land with you. I've been finding the same thing while I'm listening to guided meditations. Even though I've listened to them many times, I "hear" different things.
(note: during February I created a monthly schedule of guided meditations that I listen to in the morning... each day of the week has a different guide... and I have 5 different meditations from each of the guides)
Goldstein - the wanting mind
- settle back : open to different sensations as they appear, being aware of thoughts appearing and disappearing
- getting stuck "in the wanting"... wanting/expecting to get things from our practice... make a mental note: "expecting" "wanting"
- notice the attitude of 'wanting' or 'desire': see how it arises and passes away
- creates space for wise discernment
Salzburg - LK in your body
- in the spirit of gift giving, in embracing not rejecting
Tara Brach
- regard what arises with kindness and gentleness
- "receptivity"
- sense the quality of your heart
Patrick Briody
- set intention
- feel appreciation for this opportunity
- notice if there's any internal 'quarrel'
Jon Kabat-Zinn - #33
- listen to what is here to be heard, even the silence
- invitation to get out of our own way
- this is all we've got; can we make maximal use of it by inhabited awareness?
- nature of our attention and relationship to experience
- it's just life emerging and being met with wakefulness
