Sitting With Non-Striving

The bulk of human activity is spent “doing” and trying to change things. This frequently shows up in meditation as we want more of what we like and to get rid of what we don’t like. This pressure is felt as striving, or straining to be different, go somewhere else, or do something else. This twenty-one-minute practice brings a flavour of Non-Striving to sitting meditation. There are some distracting background noises after 15 minutes, an opportunity to not strive for a perfect practice.
