Listen "01 Settling the Body, Speech and Mind in its Natural State"
Episode Synopsis
Moving right into the foundational practice of settling the body, speech and mind in its natural state. Learning how to breathe – to let the respiration flow naturally without being forced or restricted.
How to develop a durable and genuine state of being that is not dependent upon pleasant stimulation. Without stimulation from the outside, then stimulate internally with rumination. To settle the mind at ease one must learn to relax. The challenge is to relax and yet stay clear. Looking for a balance between relaxation, stability and vividness. These three have a synergy – relaxation gives rise to stability which gives rise to clarity which enhances stability and deepens relaxation and the circle starts again.
