================
Our fundamental wakefulness can be described by certain qualities of enlightenment that speak to our inherent nobility. It is in the remembering of these factors that we can taste the freedom of reconnecting with the openness and luminosity of mind that is our true nature. Mindfulness is the seed from which all other qualities can grow.
Episode Outline:
- What Mindfulness Tells Us - We live in a world of change, yet there is an awareness that allows, without getting lost in it.
- Sit (In the Sacred Presence of Your Life) - We notice, and we expand.
- Emptiness (Is in the Moment) - Requires courage, to find freedom where we are - this is the real effort.
- Saying Yes (To What is Given) - Tend to the moment and allow it to breathe - it’s never the end of the story.
- The Dignity in Willingness (To Look).
- Natural Joy - Pleasure is found in the spectrum of what life has to offer.
- Concentration (Watering the Garden) - The capacity to be present without distraction - it’s an art that can be learned, but is also a natural discovery.
- Peace is Possible - The invitation of awakening is to step out of the battle, to stop the war.
- Equanimity (Become the Mountain) - Come to rest in that which is timeless - We come alive in the ground of being.

Thank you very much

[@gracearcher126]

thank you so much. Listened on my morning walk at the nearby marina, tide out, watching the reeds swaying in the breeze, feeling a shift listening to your calm wise loving compassionate voice. We are so immensely grateful, timeless teachings. I was feeling an invitation to fill my moments with emptiness.

Thank you so much for sharing the Dharma and all of your wisdom and your teachers wisdom... Times are rough at the moment, the boat is rocking tremendously... And now I am sitting here, listening to your soothing voice and words, the poem by Mary Oliver touching me deeply and 'causing' my fears and sadness to break open, weeping and yet feeling so permeable I haven't felt in a very long time. And somewhere within there is this joy of being alive and being here. Thank you 🙏

First silent retreat I ever went on the flood gates opened and I sobbed for three days followed by what I can only describe as pure bliss and joy. I felt like everything was ok and a sense of true happiness for the first time in my life.

[@christinabrooks]

Thank you for these talks.. I'm finding them helpful.

[@Sashas-mom]

The most important life altering truth he has the ability to convey is the invitation and the wise instruction is to be here in the present moment.
