Today's practice for myself, went quite well. A very busy mind in the beginning but as always it cleared up. How was your practice today? I'd love to hear from some new voices. We have 151 members, and as I see it, that's 151 intentions to meditate. What's your intention for practice today and going into this weekend?

How did you practice go today? What went well? What was difficult? Set an intention to practice if you haven't already. Drop a GIF, sentence, or question if you like to help support your journey.

Everything is a part of our original nature, even the strongest of emotions. Fear has your essence in it, and when recognized can open a door way to infinite spacious awareness. The key is to fully feel all emotions. No bypassing here. Those on the path, are fully feeling and fully knowing. I remember, back in the day, one of my Zen teachers knew I had an ego the size of Texas. Now, hopefully it’s the size of Austin, perhaps even smaller at some point… He said to me: “Brandon, the most powerful person in the room, is the one who is most aware.” Brilliant teaching for when I needed it the most. So let us fully honor our emotions and let them be our dear teachers. Even our old friend, fear.
