How to Surf the Waves of Uncertainty, Part 1: Cultivating Steadiness, with Jonathan Foust

This talk explores how you might cultivate greater steadiness in turbulent times.
You’ll learn some practical tools for finding refuge in present-moment awareness, in cultivating Witness Consciousness and in watching the flow of phenomena with awake awareness and an open heart.
In the Buddhist tradition, the teachings are considered so precious as to be priceless. Thus, they are given freely with the invitation for participants to offer voluntary donations. Your support is the fuel that helps me continue what I do. To support, please visit: www.jonathanfo...

Love the last photo of you flying off the sand on the beach - in celebration of being alive. Some of what you taught today, to me, Is easier said than done. Looking at our reactive aspects, even though we know we are not our thoughts but in a sense we are when we react internally or externally... and to unravel that, I feel, at least in my situation, I need courage to look at the convoluted reactivity that happens within me and makes me feel like I am in hell. BUT when I just be and look and allow courageously and move through that storm, I feel like a huge accomplishment. Work in progress. I even recently, about 3 months ago, I got in touch with my hatred. These are the dark emotions. I became aware that anyone who makes me suffer, I hate. BUT seeing it and being aware was a great revelation. So some of us have challenging work to do to unravel the stuff - the programming. I am work in progress. Appreciate listening and will for sure register. Thank you so very much! 🌺🙏💖🌱 glad you are feeling better... wow!! 🕊☮

Thank you .... Non judging awareness can dredge up everything and anything between us and feeling truly free. It takes courage to keep on this path. Blessings!

One more strategy: Stop watching the news. I had stopped for about 6 years but got sucked back in when 45 was elected. - Bad move. - I mean does it help to "stay informed" about things I have absolutely not control over? No. It actually hurts me. My ignorance is bliss. I vote and donate, which is 100% more effective than bitching and ruminating. And then focus on the beauty of life. Works for me...

[@jonathanfoust635]

Absolutely! Fill the cup ... THEN respond!
