True practice isn’t about forcing change – it’s about allowing what is. In this episode, we explore what it means to be at the cutting edge of practice: to turn toward what arises, even the discomfort, with gentle attention. Jon invites us to step beyond effort and control, to trust that awareness is already here, and to surrender to the natural unfolding of our experience. This is where transformation happens – not by pushing, but by being fully present with what is. Recorded January 18, 2025.
