Loving Kindness
with Jonathan DeYoe
Opening our minds and hearts to deep, loving kindness toward others and ourselves... even during times when it is difficult.
From Anxiety to Capacity
with Jonathan DeYoe
This week, we revisit the concept of separating the self from the experience. Rather than identifying with the experience, we become observers.
This week, we recognize and label the physical sensations that accompany our experience of anxiety and other difficult emotions.
Inside our window of tolerance, we are present. Outside our window, we become overwhelmed and reactive.
Our goal is not to "fix" difficult feelings such as anxiety, but rather to successfully coexist with these experiences.
Mindfulness Is Not Complete Without Compassion
with Jonathan DeYoe
It's true that mindfulness is about awareness. We want to notice what is here. But without that awareness being wrapped in kindness, we can simply become very good at seeing everything that's wrong with ourselves.
The first arrow, we cannot control. But the second arrow—our own self judgement and critisisms piled on top of the first wound—is entirely within our control.
RAIN: Recognize what is happening, Allow the experience to be, Investigate with curiosity, and Nurture with self-compassion.
Underneath all of the self-judgement, critisism, and self-sabotage, there is a quiet voice that whispers: "you are not enough." Let's offer care to this voice.
In the context of a meditation class, dana represents a voluntary contribution made by participants, symbolizing their gratitude and support for the teachings. This practice fosters a sense of community, allowing individuals to contribute according to their means, ensuring that the teachings remain accessible to all, regardless of financial status.
