Softening The Hardness
by John Be
In this guided meditation, we explore the technique of softening our response to events that we encounter in our daily lives. Like physical fitness training where we do repetitions of simple exercises or light weights, the idea is to repeat the softening exercise in our response to a wandering mind while meditating. Doing this while the stakes are low in practice allows us to build the muscles that will then show up for us in our daily lives. Then, when challenging situations arise, instead of ‘losing it’, we keep it. We keep the power, the dignity and the respect. I would love to hear if this practice resonates for you and I try to respond to every comment. Your feedback is helpful in learning and growing as a mindfulness meditation teacher. Thank you!
