In this conversation with Piers Thurston, Piers shares how everything is a mirror. 

As he explains, this is particularly seen in other people and in our wants and desires. What we see as others is an opportunity to look at how the idea of me is showing up. Same with what we want – looking more closely at the “cleanness” of those wants reveals so much.

We also talk a lot in this conversation about feeling, as that looks to me to be the primary “way” we dip into the beneath-abstraction, subtle essence of life where these patterns can be revealed. Piers shares his views on this which are so helpful to hear.

If: 

• You feel addicted to your phone
• You find yourself wanting background noise because silence is uncomfortable 
• You experience anxiety  or compulsive behaviors such as excessive snacking, picking, drinking, shopping, scrolling
• You rarely feel present. You’re often seeking – looking ahead, dreaming about or waiting for something other than what is, spiritual seeking, planning…

My newest 6-week course, Resting in Restlessness, is perfect for you.

Through a combination of teachings, experiments that we’ll do together and between classes, and group calls, you’ll be supported as you lean into this feeling we call restlessness. 

What if, in exploring the thoughts and sensations that make up restlessness, you find that you can actually rest in these feelings rather than compulsively distract from them? 

I am so excited to support you as we watch our comfort with What Is grow. Go to dramyjohnson.com/restlessness to see the full details.
