When We Wake Up “Empty and Frightened”

Night time worries, sleeplessness and morning “dread” are all prevalent as we deal anxiety in our changing world.  In this sharing, we will explore a neuroscience based understanding of why this is so common and how mindfulness practice offers a clear antidote. Today, like every other day, we wake up empty and frightened. Don’t open the door to the study and begin reading. Take down a musical instrument. Let the beauty we love be what we do. There are a hundred ways to kneel and kiss the ground. — Rumi
