Take refuge in the Buddha, your inner Self. Stop, Breathe, Reflect (Be Aware of what is going on inside and out), and Choose to respond. Choose to Flow rather than react. The flight, fright, or freeze Limbic (reptilian) part of our brain only knows to protect us. It knows speed not Happiness. When we are caught in reactivity we are in our reptilian brain, reacting rather than responding. As an alternative to jumping into our reptilian brain, consider this simple practice. Stop, Breathe, Reflect, Choose. It only takes seconds to remain in Refuge as the Buddha and/or Christ that you are. These podcasts are here to support your personal path of awakening. I feel they are most powerful when listened to in sequence from podcast one on because each is built on the last. If anything does not resonate, please disregard it and follow your heart. Though I am a psychotherapist these podcasts are offered to be spiritually helpful, not psychotherapy. If needed contact a psychotherapist.
