Episode 11: Greeting Ourselves

“The most difficult thing to do is to be just who you are, without embellishing, without undermining or downplaying.” -Pema Chodron-   In our culture many of us are aware of the term narcissism. Many people, for fear of being labeled a narcissist, downplay or ignore their own abilities and skills. Likewise, within spiritual and meditation traditions, many of the “masters” of the modern spiritual marketplace are continually offering some “next step”, some “next or better” way to be or feel or live.   In such a state of affairs, we can either downplay how we feel for fear of being shamed for it, or we may just overlook how well we are doing — how far we’ve come — because there is the promise of “better things to come.”   Brandon goes on to share that to turn our attention toward ourselves, to take honest stock of our talents and abilities — to greet ourselves! — can be a radical act of healing.
