Transcript S1 E3
30 min - Want to show up for your life? Start by Stopping Your Resistance.
In this Episode Caren answers two of your most excellent questions:
1. ”Wait, are you saying I never have to sit to meditate?”
2. ”How do I show up for my life?”
Along the way, she gives you a new way to look at traditional or ‘formal’ meditation—‘formal’ meditation is ‘practice’ and ‘informal’ meditation is ‘game-time’ …where it really counts.
She shares the story of how just ten minutes with a Buddhist monk taught her to stop resisting and how ‘spilled milk’ proved to her that ‘showing up for her life’ actually worked.
You too can stop resisting! Caren shares a few clues to help you learn to recognize when you are resisting, rather than showing up for, your life.
