    We come here to allow clarity to arise to the surface. It may not be there at the beginning; there may just be a jumble of stuff. So you sit, and give yourself permission to relax, and breathe, and let go. And maybe you feel vulnerable, or uncomfortable in some way, and yet there’s something bigger that holds you in this space and allows you to be here. Recorded 3/13/2017.

    Retreat is when you plant a seed in the fertile ground of mindfulness and attention — with as much tenderness, compassion, patience and open-mindedness as possible — letting go of the compulsion to compare, to analyze, to make conclusions and judgments about yourself and others. It’s amazing how much lighter you become when you let go of all of that. At some point you realize have the option, in every moment, to go on retreat right here, right now.

    Whatever’s holding on; whatever’s resisting; whatever’s grasping; be the space of awareness that allows it to go through whatever it’s going through, and to let go when it’s ready. Be the spacious awareness within you and outside of you. Drop out of your thinking mind that wants the answers. Drop into your heart, and your body, and your breath. And if you’re opening into awareness, just allow that to open into openness. Recorded 2/25/2017 in Tiburon.

    When all the stories of the mind are dropped, it’s good news. We’re constantly talking to ourselves, constantly thinking — until we’re awake, fully present, and not interfering. Then every moment is new. Every moment is alive, right here.

    And that’s really what we’re here for — to discover the ease of being, and to bring that radiant embodiment into our life, into our relationships, into all the things we do. That vibrant, fundamental nature that we are is inspiration itself. Inspired literally means filled with the energy of breath; filled with the light.

    Recorded 2/6/2017 in San Francisco.

    When everything in your experience arises from awakening, your life has a clarity of direction that arises from alignment with the source of your being. Now you live fully as consciousness itself, with a mind that is so flexible it can understand any position, any perspective, but without believing or being attached to any of them. Freedom of mind leads to freedom of the heart, which leads to freedom of the spirit. Recorded 1/23/2017 in San Francisco.
