Real Life Practice - Acceptance & Change

How comfortable are we with the ideas of acceptance and change? Do we fight against the tide of life? Have we learned yet to relax and swim with the current when this is what we must do? In this practice, you are invited to examine and the difference between mindfulness theory and mindfulness practice.

Tony, this What is a thought-provoking meditation. I think for me the way to Get to true acceptance would be to remember your phrase “conditional change..” That would help me realize what conditions I may have placed on it. Thank you, and I’m glad that your surgery was finally successful .

Thank you, Tony! I hear you on that elusive point of whether I am parroting my practice or practicing it! It takes a lot of honesty and self-understanding to recognize attachments and release them. But when I can, I feel light as a dandelion puff, and I marvel that it took so long.
This meditation is a great reminder.
Namaste,
Donna

Profound thoughts 🙏🏻. What a challenge it is to remain mindful when hardship hits. Thanks for sharing. Namaste 🤓👍🏻

Thank you Tony. Sorry to hear of your experience. However, pleased all turned out well. I am really needing help with acceptance. Will be back to your one. 💜🙏🕊

This was just what I needed.

Such an important lesson to learn, thank you for sharing. Lots to ponder.

Many thanks Tony, your meditations are always so helpful. This acceptance of change is so hard especially for a life long control freak! Good to have some guidance in these challenging days of great change. I do hope all is well with you. Keep safe, 🙏

Always amazing. Always wise, well-said, so full of warmth & kindness. Every time I listen to anything Tony Brady has on Insight Timer, I know that I will feel better. He has an authenticity that, for me, allows me to fully & deeply hear & understand what he is passing on. I cannot bear pretentiousness or the mere whiff of someone who is contrived. Hence, I always come back to Tony for my teachings, inspiration, reminders of whatever I might be seeking. I am so grateful to you, Tony. Thank you so very, very much from the bottom of my little heart to your huge, kind, wise heart. We are so extremely fortunate to have you sharing your wisdom and warmth with us.

Thank you Tony 🙏 finally experiencing (moments of) real acceptance can take a long time if change came also a long time ago. but after such a long -and probably neccessary -journey peace and acceptance are becoming more and more familiar, friends maybe, bit by bit.
Your meditations are really helpful in this proces. For which I’m grateful.

Thank you Tony and blessings to you and your loved ones 🙏

Dear Tony, Thanks for this lovely experience 🙏🏻🌺😊

Thank you so much, Tony! This was extremely helpful and exactly what I needed to hear right now as I struggle with acceptance and change. I laughed so hard when you said that you realized you were ok with change as long as it was change you wanted—truer words have never been spoken. I’m still figuring all this out and have come to realize acceptance is a big part of feeling peace. It’s a real challenge, though. I’m so glad you have recovered from your surgeries and they provided you insight on this matter, which you have kindly shared with us. Many blessings to you 🙏🏻❤️.

Wisdom well shared thanks

So
Point on as always. So glad you’re doing better Tony.
Sending healing light & love.

Wonderful guidance and meditation!
Embracing change! Thank you!

Thanks for sharing this beautiful morning meditation !

Spot on! Putting things into practice is tricky. I appreciate the reminder the our challenges are what can guide us back to our practice. One monk, when asked how he was doing would reply, “ Wonderful! I have so many problems!”

Thanks for sharing this lovely meditation.

I especially liked the different times of silence to reflect. Thank you 🙏
