Showing Up: Practice Morsels

"Showing up" in meditation is not just as physical presence but with awareness of what challenges and strengths arise. Wise reflection on whether meditative experiences align with daily life and whether they bring clarity or vagueness. The importance of this reflection lies in recognizing that meditation doesn’t immediately erase daily struggles; rather, it helps cultivate wisdom that can be applied both during meditation and in everyday life.

Showing up.

By showing up I don't mean like I'm the coach and telling you to show up and then the rest will take care of itself or showing up is most of the work and job.

By showing up I mean in this instance what challenges and strengths are showing up in your meditation and then what challenges and strengths in the meditation are showing up in your daily life like is there a direct knowing a direct reflection or is there a vagueness does nothing show up does a lot a lot show up is there an alignment of these things or not and why is it important to know this of course during the meditation should be meditating but afterwards reflecting on this and why is this important well just because we sit down and meditate doesn't mean that all of our daily life stuff is just always gonna immediately go away so what are we bringing to it what's happening during meditation and how is that then relatable and transferable and wisdom cultivated to then bring into our daily lives and vice versa
