Another way into practice
Meditation practice is sometimes considered very serious – without knowing it, the view itself might be habituated – placing limits on what we can experience.
We might sometimes feel stuck and lose a sense of ‘juice’, possibility and discovery on the cushion.
On this urban retreat we’ll practice ‘lightening the load’ – changing, shifting, and refreshing attention.
This allows us to move from denial and a sometimes defensive posture against hardship, to a spring-like quality allowing for renewal and responsiveness in practice.
We’ll start exploring calm abiding practice as a base and then we’ll open up techniques to elicit and feel sensations of joy, bubbles, waves, or electricity in the body – intending to free and loosen up the being and pave way for insight to arise.
