This Is A Practice | Begin Again

In this short excerpt from our Weekly Sangha on IT, a reminder that our practice is to always begin again. It doesn't matter what happened, how you got lost - what's important is that we begin again and again and again.

Transcript

This is a practice,

Right?

And it's just we keep,

We fall off,

Get back on.

We fall off,

We get back on.

Begin again,

Begin again,

Begin again,

Begin again,

Begin again.

One million,

Two billion,

Five trillion times,

Begin again.

Every time you recognize,

You know,

Oh I got a little lost there.

I was pushing back on it.

Okay,

That's okay.

It's the,

It's the seeing it and acknowledging,

Ah,

Okay,

That's what was happening.

Okay,

So begin again.

I've been fighting this,

You know,

Maybe you were fighting the anxiety for the last three hours.

Okay,

So don't,

Don't beat yourself up for the next three hours because you were fighting it.

Just,

Ah,

I recognize I'm fighting it.

Okay.

Sweetheart,

This is tough.

Let's be with this,

Right?

Pet ourselves.

Be kind.

Breathe.

And you can talk yourself through it,

Right?

As you're going through it,

Like self-compassion,

Talking to yourself kindly.

Okay,

Sweetheart,

We can breathe,

We can feel this.

We're back.

Does not matter that we spent three hours resisting it,

Does not matter,

That's,

That's the past.

We're back.

Begin again.

Begin again.

Begin again.

It's a practice.

Love this!

Exactly right! Life is a practice. Our lives are a journey, not a destination. We need to practice everything; not to get it right, but to do it over and over and over again; because that’s what life is all about. It is our persistence that strengthens our happiness.
Thank you for this short yet powerful meditation. Namaste 🙏

Great reminders. Grateful for awareness. Can begin again, and again, and again at any time, in any stage, in any momen begin again. Release judgment, soften, have compassion…Thank you.

So comforting, thank you

Thank you.

What a great reminder. I feel sometimes like I should have {Begin Again!} tattooed on the back of my hand so I'm guaranteed to see it a thousand times a day. That might be just enough to get it to sink in. Thank you! 🙏

So very true. It really is that simple. Love that this is in a little but powerful morsel which can be practiced anywhere anytime. At a stoplight. In the Checkout line. Anywhere. 🙏💖
