Good morning,
Good afternoon,
Good evening.
One of the.
.
.
Things we can do on waking in the morning.
Any time of the day might be feeling a certain discomfort.
In whatever form it takes.
We go direct to it.
What I mean is we just.
.
.
Take the attention right there and become really,
Really intimate with it.
Might be an anxiety,
A fear,
A loneliness.
So I've undefined something.
I remember doing some work with a guy in Brighton when I lived in Brighton.
And he was obviously unsettled a lot of the time.
And he was just feeling something in the body,
And he said,
Oh,
You know,
It's not really much here.
And I just said,
What's in the background?
It never gone there.
It's always just being on the surface.
What's in the background,
Like the wallpaper?
And he flushed and the tears came.
And that's how we can heal.
We never heal completely,
We don't need to.
I don't even know what it means to heal completely,
I don't think it's possible.
But we don't need to.
That's not necessary.
It's just the charges,
The charges go out of them.
You know,
And we use the language like welcoming and just,
You know,
Which is beautiful language and that's fine.
But actually we just,
Just feel it.
Just feel what's here.
Without the narrative.
Sometimes you can ask a question of if it's a.
.
.
Something might feel stuck.
Something might feel stuck.
So just feel it.
And then you might ask a question.
Just something very simple which we'll do today,
This morning.
Or get your feelings too.
So you ask it.
It's just a very simple question.
Very,
Very simple.
Keep it simple.
Which he is talking about.
Going direct to anything of discomfort,
How long did we miss the beginning?
Just right here.
And a good time to do it is when we wake up in the morning.
Quite often things are distorted.
It's like we're super identified with mind.
Things are sorted.
Exaggerated.
And you don't realise they're exaggerated.
Passes that bit of thought to feel real.
So sensations are never a problem,
Never.
Is the narrative about.
It's always the thoughts.
So you put the thoughts to one side,
So to speak,
And you just go direct.
It's an act of love,
It's an act of compassion.
I just don't use the words that much because we get confused.
We have ideas about what they are.
Okay,
So let's Take a breath.
And we just turn towards experience.
The attitude of openness,
A little curiosity even.
And what's here.
On such fail line.
Experientially,
Not intellectually.
Why do you feel it?
Does it feel heavy?
Contracted.
So you can just carry on feeling it.
Feel the space around it.
I'm going to ask it a question.
Something like,
What gets you feeling like this?
And what do you need from me?
Just explore this something.
What's behind?
What's within.
Just have a little play.
We're not looking for solutions,
Anything like that.
Just this moment.
This moon is actually eternal.
When you get out of the mind.
Just feeling what's here.
Not even observing it,
Just feeling it.
Becoming intimate.
I wish you can carry on,
Or you can just relax any focus.
Literally just sit.
And just experience whatever comes into your field of awareness.
Sound my voice.
Traffic.
Feeling of hunger.
It's just experiencing the flow There is just a flow.
OK.
This is half a little stretch or whatever you do.
And that's it.
