Feeling Hijacked by Public Stress? Embodied Presence #1

Welcome back to our autumn session! I hope you had an excellent summer.

Our next session of weekly Sunday 8am meditations is guided by many of the participant suggestions we received over the summer, and most have to do with: "how do I keep my equilibrium when the world seems to be going crazy?"

From a meditator's perspective, we turn to awareness of the body and senses. Often we are operating in a trance, angry state, completely unaware of how we are mostly feeling and thinking. Once in a while we "correct" our thinking with some "shoulds" and maybe a bit of gratitude, but mostly we have the habit of being disembodied--that is, unaware of how we're really thinking and feeling.

The embodied presence - being aware of how we think, feel (both physically and emotionally) and stepping back from the hot or sad emotions to observe, nurture, and enquire is one path out of the mania of public stress, which is certainly a product of tech giants' interest in making more money by securing our attention with increasingly inflammatory media.

Let's start paying attention to YOU with the simple tools we introduce in today's meditation, and give your attention back to yourself, where it belongs, so that you can make decisions based on your values and goals, and not be dragged around by the wagon of public opinion.
