Some say the whole purpose of meditation is to remedy “ego-grasping.” We cling on to what we believe to be true, refusing possibilities for creative change. The way we can go forward is to observe our habits in kind and wise attention. Then we can change the ones that are not helpful.
This course will be practice and experience based. We will be exploring new horizons within our minds to help us accept and transform those habits that limit our freedom. Through mainstream exercises we can awakened a fearless and mature attitude, So with a spirit also of playfulness, let’s use meditation as a method to let go of what is not useful and adopt what is healthy in our lives. We will be learning how to appreciate the world around us and within us. Again and again the central message will be to simplify our ways of experience, “at play in the field of our mind.”
