Where The River Of Freedom Meets The Ocean Of Security

Can we have both freedom and security or are our longings for both in conflict with one another?

I really enjoyed this. Especially the reminder not to expect to obtain a constant sense of happiness or peace even through the most dedicated meditation practice; b/c just as everything around us is in a constant state of change, so too are our feelings.

a big lunch for thoughts:)...love the stories, the camel :D .....

Fantastic. I got to have a mini retreat and be reminded of the intention of Mindfulness. So accepting and insightful with lots of stories for examples.

When I read the title of this session, I felt a sense of awareness, a resonance of how the seemingly opposed desires of freedom and security have held me stuck in patterns of immobility. I'd anticipated a recitation of tasks to engage or avoid to become unmired, but what I found in return was so much more...a way of observation and awareness that encourages me recognize hindrances, responses, and, with this awareness, come back to my anchor and examine the situation as it is, rather than as I am conditioned to interpret it.

And, there is so much more. During my next listen, I will sit with pen and pad and capture the ideas I hope to explore further as a very grateful student.
