What is the Do Nothing Project?

Prepare to be underwhelmed! Every Sunday night myself or a cohost guide a free 25-minute meditation on Substack Live. Our subject is a variation on nothing whatsoever.

You can read more about the Do Nothing Project here, and peruse hundreds of archived weekly meditations here.

Look forward to doing nothing in community with you!

Jeff

Enjoying the Do Nothing Project? Check out the Consciousness Explorers Club (CEC), a non-profit meditation adventure group that I founded over ten years ago (anniversary animation here), now run by my friend Erin Oke and a crew of dedicated volunteers. The CEC offers free guided meditations and articles, hosts its own highly exploratory online community meditation on Monday nights, and aims to be a resource for community practice groups around the world.

We can’t seem to get rid of it. Anon, yesteryear, in former times, the empty frame of awareness would lurch into our screen during episodes of nothing happening. Then it disappeared for a while, at least for me, receding into the background. But now, all of a sudden, from out of nowhere, it’s back, and … it’s…

All in all, existential loitering of the highest order. Happy Father’s Day!

We pause - as though at the high end of a pendulum‘s arc - and then we swing back, stirring the pablum with love, until it becomes effervescent giggle water. Whew, that was close!

Fortunately, our good natured community - already trained to have low expectations - does not seem bothered. Jeff, recalling that most excellent Richard Linklater film The Hitman, shares meditation instructions via the Notes app on his phone. Blissful silence ensues, and much amu…

Which may not make any sense on account of him only half-thinking it through, plus being partially asleep and all. Then he demonstrates a stabilizing breath technique that he learned from , who is a …

It turns out infinity isn’t just one big blank canvas — there are small infinities and big ones.

In this episode of nothing whatsoever happening, we get extra curious about… nothing. That is, absence. The experience of stillness or quiet or space or blankness or emptiness or open-ended awareness or peaceful neutrality. Can we find an absence and then choose to appreciate it, to steep in it, even to… Enjoy it? In this way, these quiet places …

He attempts to articulate why he is experiencing joy, out on the water with his four-year-old on a kayak, sea lions bellowing, white puffy clouds. The smell of bilge. Then: enjoying the community, slightly buzzy meditation, mystery humming all around. Attempts to articulate such things are not successful. Doesn’t matter. Feeling good to be here with everyone.

Home Base Hangout is one of the additional signals of support available to paid subscribers, along with customized meditation practices, and more on the way.

In this buoyant edition of our monthly Home Base Hangout, Jeff chats about his teacher, Shinzen Young and Vipassana as an approach to meditation, and then guides a practice on noticing craving and aversion. After we chat a bit about the mechanics of mindfulness versus concentration, and about how to titrate with emotional pain, and what it feels like to be a “meditation failure,” then just lots of gratitude around being in community and being able to explore these teachings together. Good times!

Jeff describes in vague, mystical language “the hum” of being, suffusing something or another. Good palpable community connection. At the end, Jeff talks a little bit about changes he wants to make at the DNP and how it fits into the signal of support he’s interested in offering through this Substack.

It’s very meta. Also, in the not doing anything, an opinion is expressed (Jeff’s) that it is the single most important thing ever, of all time, anywhere. Among other important things. Oh yeah, then we talk about access and accessibility and what that means.
