"Let your heart be as big as your whole experience, like the sky." - Jack Kornfield
In this episode, Jack mindfully explores:
- Overcoming aversion by "bringing it into your heart" rather than your rational mind
- Touching into emotions, fears, and judgements with compassion instead of aversion
- Using techniques like "noting/naming" for moving past intense feelings
- Loving your negatives states as you would love your own child
- Seeing clearly the karma, value, and consequence of your personal patterns
- Who would you be if you dropped your opinions, views, identity?
- Growing your heart to the size of the sky
- Practicing the 'art of letting go'
- Learning to live in the reality 'the Now'
- Why Buddha had a better time than most
- Painting as a doorway to spiritual experience
- Transmuting difficulties by dropping our resistance to them
- How to hold healthy views without being attached to them
"In this space of Now, it's not necessary to have fear. In this place of Now, we can rest." - Jack Kornfield
"If we want to create peace, or if we want to live free from greed, hatred and delusion, the place to start is in ourselves." - Jack Kornfield
