A no-lose approach for responding to meditative drowsiness.

Try breaking a mindfulness exercise down into a series of shorter segments.

A year of streaming my weekday morning meditation practice during the pandemic.

It wasn’t until I stumbled clumsily toward a daily mindfulness practice in my mid-thirties that I discovered that there were ways I could get better at feeling my feelings.

Before intentionally working on my attentional skills, I had no idea how often I escalated my unpleasant feelings and zipped past the pleasant and subtler ones.

The kind of self-awareness that mindfulness exercise develops has helped me become more objective about my subjective experiences.

When remembering to notice that we're alive becomes a habit, we begin to erode the internal friction that obscures our view of the richness we're swimming in every day.

“There is a middle way here between the extremes of rigidity and passivity, one that offers a more legitimate form of meditation.”
