Hey there, Monkey Brain

Finding stillness is hard.

Case in point: the folks in this study actually opted to give themselves a jolt rather than endure 15 minutes of idle sitting. Yet, it's crucial for us to break free from our need to never be bored.

Here’s why I nurture a sitting practice:

• It breaks the tendency of tying self-worth to my productivity – that pesky ego-driven need for approval, aka asmita.

• I take back the reins from unconscious, automatic thinking – those whirlwind thoughts, chitta vrittis, that keep on spinning (until I purposely notice them.)

• It's an act of defiance against the attention-extraction economy. I’m laying claim to a quiet moment despite the non-stop dinging of our devices. Hello, ahimsa; disruption of harm.

Meditation is your ultimate rebellion against the forces of depletion. Please join us in stillness after every Led Primary class!
