We live our lives in a perpetual state of "doing." Every day is comprised of moving from one task to another: one thing to accomplish after the other. While this is necessary to live and survive, this episode explores untethering our worthiness from our productivity, success, and all our doings. Where can happiness and satisfaction come from if they are only attainable through what we accomplish? WHEN is it enough, and what MIGHT it feel like to define our worth by HOW we are rather than WHAT we do?

Episode 27 - Human Doing or Human BEING?

Welcome to 2024!
On this episode we explore the "aha" moment of not making our minds our enemies. From how we're raised to view and judge ourselves naturally to even the language we sometimes hear on our spiritual paths, making the mind the enemy: putting it in its place or "controlling" it sometimes seems the ultimate goal. So today we work through the transformative possibility of making the mind our friend even during meditation.

Episode 29 - The Mind Is Not Your Enemy

This guided meditation includes a body scan and invites the receptivity and letting-go of whole body breathing. Once we have awakened the vitality and presence throughout the body, we have access to the formless dimension, the awareness that is our source. The meditation closes with “Walk Slowly”, from the poetry of Danna Faulds.

Meditation: Opening to the Mystery

True listening arouses an open receptive presence that can be truly healing. This meditation awakens a listening presence; first bringing that receptive awareness to sensations and sounds, and then offering that presence to the tenderness and vulnerability of our heart.

Like There's No Rules

Like many other resources, we have seen that Mindfulness as a philosophy, way of being, and skill set has clear demographic disparities in accessibility.

WTFU is a podcast that was created in the hopes of breaking these barriers to bring mindfulness to people of all ages, races, and self-identifications.
