Cattāri Brahmavihārā

I think the realization that I’m not going to get to do my normal meditation session begins as a panic on days like these. It’s kind of ridiculous but completely predictable how my untrained mind can so quickly turn something that is meant only to bring relief from suffering and form it into a blade upon which to impale myself. And, thankfully, this blog does serve a purpose after all: it helps to bring awareness to exactly what I’m doing. Rather than holding my experience with disdain I can bring mindfulness to bear and see how I create more suffering where there was little or none to begin with.

Sukhi hotu!
