Episode 12: Deepening Your Practice

What this episode covers

How often have you heard, “It’s not what you do, but how you do it.” Mindfulness meditation is often oversimplified as being solely a practice of training attention. But there is a second, more subtle, but perhaps even more important factor to the practice: the attitude we practice with.  Our attitude impacts how we perceive and so relate with ourselves and our life. In the practice of mindfulness meditation, just as we explore gently training and reshaping our attention, so too can we explore shifting how we relate with our experience. Perhaps we are often critical of ourselves — practicing mindfulness, we can explore nonjudgment, or compassion. Perhaps we are always leaning forward in life, wondering what the next moment will bring — with mindfulness, we can explore allowing, and letting be. Our personality and the attitude with which me meet ourselves and our life is not fixed — it can change (slowly, but surely) given the time and intention.
