Bringing some gentle curiosity this morning to my/our very human - TopicsExpress



          

Bringing some gentle curiosity this morning to my/our very human resistance to things we know work for us, practices that help us live from the centre of who we are (could be the way we eat or exercise, setting aside time for solitude and creativity, going for a walk. . . ) I do a daily practice of prayer & meditation, but it never ceases to amaze me how the mind conjurs a litany of resistance, excuses, exceptions, distractions. . . I move into my practice anyway but I am mystified by the resistance after so many years. What I do know is that becoming harsh with myself will work no better than giving up & following the impluse to avoid that which helps me stay centred & gives me the fullest possible choice about how to respond to things that happen during the day. So, despite the resistance I just keep moving gently & firmly in the direction I want to go, some days even smiling at the mental muttering. :-) ~Oriah
