Beyond Mindfulness: Deepening Your Spiritual Insight
Description
What comes after mindfulness? Noticing the leaves is the start, not the finish.
I was coming down the hill in my electric wheelchair looking at the leaves, and it struck me that plain awareness is only the doorway. It is simple and it is hard, and it is nearly impossible to explain to somebody who has not felt it. Awareness is not only outward either. What can the body teach me right now. And gratitude goes the same way: thank you kettle is the surface, and underneath it runs all the way out to caring about the whole world.
One thing to try: Turn the attention inward once today. Ask what the body is telling you and then just listen.
