Periodically I recommit to some kind of meditation practice, but alas, my best intentions dwindle after a few sessions or a few days. For one thing, I’m just not very good at following a practice that someone else has created and presented, although I’m well aware of their good intentions, as well as the benefits offered. We need people describing what they do so we have models, not models to follow, although follow we will, but models so we can create our own way. In fact, that’s what I do on this blog!
“Soften the gaze,” is how Peter Russell describes it to Ian Lawton in the “Spirituality and Awakening” series [email protected] . I resonate with that. Soften is easier for me than to try to release a thought. Soften helps me slide back into being. Softening helps me get rid of my thoughts and about thinking about my thoughts. Softening happens when I walk and when I’m doing the dishes. Softening gets me out of my head and into my heart.
