Our Mindful Nature {Formerly The Mindful Minute}

Birds, Books, & Awe {part 2: Books}

I adore a good book, and I’ve noticed that often I feel a sense of energy or connection between what I’m reading and my meditation practice. Sometimes it inspires a question, a curiosity or even just a feeling.


It isn’t something that can easily be named or explained, which is exactly what this series is about… The unknown, the mystery, the awe of an experience. 


In meditation, often we want to discuss what happens. We try to explain. But so often it feels incomplete, doesn’t it? You can’t capture the depth, the richness, the aliveness through a word that is in itself limiting.


Our practice, like ourselves, is boundless. Limits are useless here. And often so is language.


Books have their place. They point us to something.


But experience is the only path forward… The only knowing. 


In this class, we explore books, language, signs and symbols as a way to relate to our practice and to accept its ambiguity. Join me for a brief discussion and 20-minute guided meditation.
