Daily Meditation Recordings, with Ulla Koenig – Week of Sept 12, 2022

This week’s topic is (Be)Come As You Are.

 

Our driven-ness, our ruminating thoughts, and our feelings of shame, guilt, and anxiety never allow us to simply ‘be’. They evolve around a sense of identity , a process the Buddha called selfing (bhava), a form of suffering (dukkha). We are endlessly trapped in a narrative of who we think we ought to be, were in the past and should be in the future.

We will dedicate our shared time together to build an awareness of these processes and find alternative ways to relate to the many experiences of life.

How can our insights and the awakening process move from being primarily experiential to becoming functional, relational, and lived?
