Meditation: An Act of Rebellion

Hello Wonderful Open Heart Project,

It’s no secret that many forces are competing for your attention, especially online. Some are noble and righteous. Some are not.  Trying to track it all is…exhausting.

The need for boundaries for our hearts and minds has never been more important. We must preserve our energy so that we can continue to care.

Meditation helps establish mental and emotional boundaries. This is not about bypassing. It is about retaining life force to fight the good fight.

It’s important not to let your mind be co-opted, to say “no,” loudly and clearly.

One of the most rebellious things you could do right now is reclaim your attention.

Please have a listen to this talk to learn more.

I’d love to hear what you think.

Love,
Susan

PS: Please check out my new book, Inexplicable Magic: Meditation for Mystics. It offers seven principles of meditation as a spiritual practice (rather than self-help).

PPS: If sitting together sounds supportive to your practice, please join the Open Heart Project sangha. We have a live meditation practice every morning.
