Cool Boredom - Why It's Necessary for Our Practice

This week is all about “cool boredom,” and why it’s an important part of our meditation practice. It can open us up to the many skills needed on our path, including learning to not need constant ego-affirming stimuli, and the capacity to allow inner peace and self-inquiry. We’ll jam on the difference between cool and hot boredom and how each can serve its own purpose as we find a healthy balance between ecstatic experiences and simply being. The goal isn’t to live a life of cool boredom - it’s a middle way between that and ecstasy.

You will learn:

// Why boredom is important in our meditation practice

// How boredom opens us up to many skills needed on our path

// The difference between hot and cool boredom

// How to find a balance between wild adventures and cool boredom

Resources:

// Episode 65: The Art of Doing Nothing

// Episode 109: The Gift of Silence
