Ordinary life
Meditation
Awareness while you make tea, walk, shower, wait, sit, sleep, feel, and sit down with a deck. Not a test you have to perform perfectly.
How to use this shelf
This is a learning library, not a catalogue. Pick one subject. Open it. Work with it. Then come back. You do not need to collect every entry in one sitting.
Course lessons teach the method. These pages are for returning, revising, and going deeper on one thing at a time.
- 01TeaA kettle, a mug, a few minutes. Arriving is allowed to look like this.
- 02WalkingFeet, street, breath. Meditation that uses the body you already move about in.
- 03ShowerWater, heat, a closed door. A sit you can do before work. Skin as the practice.
- 04WaitingQueues, buses, kettles, hold music. Stolen stillness. The day is full of cushions you are ignoring.
- 05Before sleepThe day is down. The cards are down. A few breaths so the night is not a second reading room.
- 06Before a readingArrive in the room you are actually in. Then pick up the deck. Fancy is not quieter.
- 07When emotions are loudFeeling is allowed in the body without becoming a plot, and without becoming a spread.
- 08Body noticingFeet to head, ten seconds. Sensation is information. It is not proof of a prophecy.
- 09Sitting practiceThree minutes is enough to begin. Feet, breath, thought noticed and not chased. Then come back.
