Relax As You Are - A Morning Practice

We tend to spend a lot of time resisting the way we are, the way things are. Join me in this short practice in which we accept ourselves, at this moment, exactly as we are. Indeed, this moment is okay.

Transcript

Let's close our eyes and be comfortable wherever we are, However we are. We may wish to shuffle about a bit. There's usually going to be at least a little discomfort that remains. And we can be okay with that. Chasing perfect comfort in the body is like chasing a wrinkle in a bed sheet. So let's relax as we are, However we are. As this moment is, However this moment is. Physical ease or physical tension? Mental ease or mental tension? Emotional ease or emotional tension? Can we be okay with all of it? Just as it is, With nothing needing to change. Emotional ease or emotional tension? You may have the experience of disliking some physical sensation. You may have the experience of disliking some thought. You may have the experience of disliking some emotional tone. Can you relax with these as they are? Can you watch them arise, Abide and pass away? Coming from nowhere, Abiding nowhere and going nowhere. Can you watch them arise, Abide and pass away? To fully accept whatever arises as it is, Is true freedom. Can you watch them arise, Abide and pass away? May we all be free from dissatisfaction.
