just another way, for saying, mindfulness of the motion

it has to do with bringing awareness, that various features of

the emotional landscape, not just your emotional landscape

but the emotional landscape of others, to be sensitive to like, when you

you're trying to get your daughter dressed in the morning

and you're on your fifth

dress, and you know, and

she's rejected all of them, and you get a little huffy

because you have time urgency, that she doesn't know anything about, because she's

not living in time world, but you are

and

you get a little huffy, and you see the look on her face

then you realize, that like, how much do I

need, you know, and I say to myself, I've got to get

this meeting, maybe you don't need to get to that meeting, how many meetings

can you remember, that you didn't have to be at in your life, but your daughter

will only be

that moment, that age, for a very brief time

can you be there with her fully, so that doesn't mean you should likes

give up your job, but it means, that we cultivate a certain kind of balance

when we understand the importance

of what we most care about, or love

I've come to realize, in my

you know, year's of practicing formal meditation, that actually

take your seat in formal meditation, you could say is a

radical act, first of all, for americans it's like

non doing, come on, I mean that's anti-american

like you know, shut off your cellular phone

and go home, my god, like how would I be connected?

with 24/7 connected, but hardly ever with ourselves, with our body, with our breath

with our awareness

talk about the vagus nerve, listen, it's not rocket's alliance, it starts a

surf on the waves of your breath, and drop into your belly

your vagus nerve, just like you know, sort of, chill out the whole system

it's not like you need to, sort of

train this for years, and years, the body has this wisdom already

you don't have to cultivate awareness, have to learn is to find it, inhabit it

it's like your apartment, it's your house

but you know, we haven't been having it and we've been

sort of, living on the street, lost on thought, homeless

so coming back into the body, is like, you know, recovery
