On the Cushion
Studying “Now”
Sensing presence. Quiet the attention of mind thought. Feel …… legs on mat. Butt on curved, slanted, wooden bench. Stomach rise and fall with breath. What is time when “now” is present?
Listening
What gets in my way of listening?
What am I hearing when I listen?
How do I focus on complete listening?
No distractions. Pure listening.
Thinking. Anxiety created by mental thought.
Worry about tomorrow. About the future.
What do I listen to? My thoughts? My feelings or sensations?
