I love being subscribed to you for your wisdom, but especially for an email simply titled “Frisbee” in my inbox today. it brought me this nice, enjoyably sweet inner laugh. :)
What I (now) love about this and other Homebase treats, is Jeff’s guidance about relaxing the cheeks and the forehead. I simply cannot do it sustainably. Here’s why: His work also helped reframe my relationship with going off on a thinking tangent. OMG, I now noticed at least twice as much as I did during the past 8 years of meditation and I also have a very (now) relationship with them, to the point that I always smile or laugh when I run into them. That is because I get to go back my Homebase. To quote David Whyte “may you hold that shadow to the light and the silence of that shelter to the word of the light, may you join all of your previous disappearances with this new appearance, this new morning, this being seen again, new and newly alive.” These mini moments that are almost always present,give such joy and peace. I can’t relax my face. And that’s so OK.
Because you can be clear about something in the moment, without being concentrated. Although it’s also true that choosing to notice that thing is the selection aspect of concentration, and thus a kind of fruit! 🍉
This brought tears to my eyes because I’ve been unable to set aside my worries, and it’s sapping my joy. Thank you for the reminder of how to get back on track.

Love this!!!!!
Perfect succinct go to meditation! I will come back to this often! Thank you for sharing
I’m interested in why clarity counts as a separate skill rather than as a fruit of concentration? Interested to read your book!

Thank you! That was amazing in its simplicity. I’ve been lapsing in my regular practice and this was a perfect re -introduction. Happy Thanksgiving!
