The Heart of Practice

In this episode, I (Debbie) read and reflect on “The Heart of Practice,” a foundational piece of Negative Philosophy written by Martin Butler. Rather than chasing knowledge or spiritual fantasies, this practice asks the only questions that matter: How am I feeling right now—and why? What am I thinking—and why?Through body sensing, observation, and deep understanding, the work leads to genuine inner freedom, emotional clarity, and the ability to experience love consciously. This episode explores the essence of daily practice, why it matters, and how it opens a new relationship with your own mind and emotional life.To know more, contact me to arrange for your free half hour, no commitment, session.
