So excited for the new book! The idea of changing your mind resonates with me as I look around at the emotional climate surrounding most of us today. It is fraught and often just mean and hurtful. I have a relative who vexes me constantly. However, the vexing is mostly one sided, my side. Only occasionally is she aware of my thinking. I find myself trapped in chaparral. The advice to change my mind and relax with things as they are is apt. From our study of Becoming Bodhisattvas, the idea of generosity sticks with me and this enlightens how I think about her. Helps me relax to things as they are and not get too stuck in the chaparral of my own making.
Congrats Cyndi! I can't wait to read your new book! I have been sitting for the past few days revisiting the meditation teacher training. This retreat came at the perfect time. Sending you ❤️ xo Carla
Thank you for this. I am excited for your book, and excited for the prompts from Sara Polley. I agree that it is possible and often a good idea to "drop into savasana" and let everything go in an instant. This is a beautifully written reminder not to get caught in the chaparel.
Thank you, Alice. And yes, it really is possible and a good idea to just let go. Even for a finger snap. That space might evaporate quickly but if one does this practice regularly, then we start to get familiar with that open space and we know we can go there whenever we want. It's not about being blank-minded all the time, but it is about creating a kind of sorbet for clearing/cleansing our mind when it is stuck and spinning like a rainbow wheel.
