Seeking To Understand Before Seeking To Be Understood

This practice, inspired by Adyashanti and the Prayer of Saint Francis of Assisi, invites you to seek to understand yourself and others before seeking to be understood. When you understand yourself deeply, the demand that others understand you begins to melt away. Your heart and mind open, and you enjoy life more. Demanding that others understand BEFORE you try to understand them can block awakened consciousness from streaming through you. By seeking to understand, you open energetic pathways within yourself through which your own insight can flow. This meditation can be used alone or as a companion to Adyashanti's "Direct Way" teachings. I hope you enjoy. Music: Lovingkindness by Six Missing (used with permission). Audio: Eric Fischer.
