Ripening and the Inevitability of Our Awakening


Listen Later

In this week’s episode, we talk about why we’re often left feeling impatient, judging that we aren’t doing “enough” on our spiritual path; needing to do things better; more quickly; more intensely. It can be hard to let go of a striving mentality so that we can actually move at the pace we’re meant to. But the reality is that with our practice, we will naturally ripen. Our awakening is INEVITABLE. 

You will learn:

// Why your awakening is inevitable (isn’t that great news?!)

// The downside of impatience and striving for a quick-fix approach

// How to stop grasping for growth on our spiritual path and allow it to naturally “ripen”

// The importance of being led by trust vs control

// Signs we’re trying to force our awakening instead of letting it take the time it needs

// The Four Dharma Seals 

Resources:

// Episode 126: How to Know if You’re Making Spiritual Progress

// Episode 204: What if This Is as Good as it Gets.

// Episode 208: The Sit Spot Practice - When It’s Hard to Meditate

// I’d love to hear from you! You can leave a review on the Rebel Buddhist Podcast on iTunes by clicking here

You’ll also get access to the Rebel Buddhist private group, and tune in every Wednesday as I go live with new inspiration and topics.
