None of that matters. Same practice: pause, notice what’s here, be present without trying to avoid it or override it or rationalize it away. Then choose a high note to go out on!

Being human takes practice.

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

Also prompts to hold a few subtle embodied directions that are mostly variations on nothing.

I love you! The End, Jeff

So we climb on back in, and look together for the no problem amidst all the problems. Good to be with you.

Wait, I said that about last week. Well, it happened again. Someone said it looked kind of creepy, Blair-Witch style. Cicadas hummed. Neighbour voices floating past. Another perfect evening with friends.

Yep, that’s it. Takes a while. Then, in the near dark, we can see a bit of flickering candle. Sound of a bell, traffic. Your breath.

Realizing that we can develop an experience "equalizer board" for our sensory clarity and what we focus on can provide a new level of agency in our practice.

And still we all sit and it’s good to be present with friends and just be a body in a chair while traffic goes by. The lack of ambition is delicious.

]]><![CDATA[DNP: Meditation Saved Me From Fate]]>https://www.homebasewithjeff.com/p/dnp-meditation-saved-me-from-fatehttps://www.homebasewithjeff.com/p/dnp-meditation-saved-me-from-fateMon, 03 Aug 2026 13:11:44 GMTIn this episode of nothing much happening, for some inexplicable reason something does happen. Jeff shares about how his practice first saved him from feeling stuck in a particular outcome or fate, by showing him how there’s a kind of freedom in the moment where nothing is happening. More recently, the fruits of meditation are around the experience of free will, with an appreciation for the many possibilities available in any moment. How do we not get overwhelmed by these many possibilities? By getting settled for one, something meditation is very helpful at. But also by aiming for our core values, how we wanna be now and in the future: loving, present, clear, strong. Whatever your thing.

Then he cries! Then he shares a video of a sunset! What the hell is wrong with this sop? A beautiful community night.

What, exactly, was happening is a bit hard to say. Not much. Also everything. Meeting: life. Felt good. Getting under some of the mind’s push-pull, into the stream of everything else that happened to be happening. So it goes with meditation. Grateful for this community.

]]><![CDATA[DNP: "We Are Fractal"]]>https://www.homebasewithjeff.com/p/dnp-we-are-fractalhttps://www.homebasewithjeff.com/p/dnp-we-are-fractalMon, 20 Jul 2026 11:58:47 GMTFractals, infinitely complex patterns that are self-similar at various sizes & scales, exist in us and in nature. They show up in fern fronds, pinecones, romanesco broccoli, the nautilus shell, and even our own blood vessels. As the up-and-out logarithmic spiral grows wider, its shape and pattern stay the same, reminding us that what we practice at the small scale sets the patterns for the entire system.

As a math teacher and meditation guide, shares this as a helpful framing for how our meditation practice relates directly to our world. Brooke gently guides us to settle in, notice, and become available to what we long for, while encouraging us to practice exactly that - because, like fractals, when we practice our longing, it spirals out and sets the pattern for our whole world. It’s math! We are romanesco broccoli.

]]><![CDATA[DNP: A Column of Light]]>https://www.homebasewithjeff.com/p/dnp-a-column-of-lighthttps://www.homebasewithjeff.com/p/dnp-a-column-of-lightMon, 13 Jul 2026 14:15:17 GMTImagine the world exactly like it is right now, everything the same, the only difference is every 100 meters or so there’s a column of light coming down from the sky. As soon as you walk into that column of light, you sit down and don’t do anything. You’re awake, present, but now you have no agenda. You just exist, and let the whole phonetic get shit done system power down. Five minutes, 10 minutes, maybe 20 minutes. Whatever feels right on that day. Then you come back out and resume your day, a little more grounded, a little more sane. A little more perspective. A little less all up in your own business.

Thats my metaphor for a better world. Simply the understanding woven into the culture that to be at our best, we also need to slow down. A column of light in every classroom and workplace and hospital.

Another way of saying it his is: let’s not do anything right now!

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 not doing anything! Will it become coagulated? Will it develop a greasy film and prevent your experience from smoothly updating? Or will awareness stay open, and experience stay slippery, available, and free? Only one way to know (by not doing anything).

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