How awake are you in your everyday life? If you make a decision in a dream, then the dream made the choice for you. Our job is to wake up. May we be welcomed to the real world. May we wake up. May we really be here, now.

Neuroelectrical androgyny: "The experience of meditation (while awake) and lucidity (while asleep) enhances the brain's differentiation, or specialization, in women while enhancing the coherence, or integration, of its parts in men" - Jayne Gackenbach, 1990, in S. Krippner's book

Don’t try to clear your mind. Just notice your mind. One is an act of aggression. The other a gesture of intimacy.

Approaching our emotional life in a nonjudgmental way isn't about pretending to be indifferent toward painful experiences. It's about seeing pain for what it is without looking at it through the lens of shame, harsh judgment, and self-criticism.

True intimacy requires that we be open enough to be vulnerable, to be present in order to accept emotions as they rise + fall, to maintain perspective that feelings rise + fall (our own and those of our loved ones), + to be able to act with love even when we don't feel like it.

A thought doesn’t mean we have to act on it. An emotion doesn’t require we indulge it. A body sensation doesn’t mean we have to move. We learn this is meditation - sitting and observing. We have a choice. We have space to decide. We are free to choose.

Positive thoughts aren't better than negative ones.
E.g if you're drunk and think 'I'm totally fine, I can drive', that's a positive thought but unhelpful. Negative thinking would be safer.
So, consider if your thoughts are helpful or unhelpful rather than positive or negative

Dealing with anxiety is hard enough without the weight of shame and blame. You aren’t alone. You aren’t weak. You have a very tricky brain & a fine tuned threat detection system. Finding evidence based support and practicing self-compassion can help. Anxiety happens. So does love

From a fascinating #lunchandlearn session with @charliemorley1 learning all about #luciddreaming. We're looking forward to changing reality in bed tonight...

Depression isn’t sadness. Anxiety isn’t weakness. Suffering isn’t a disease.
We suffer because we are human, here and now, in this body. You aren’t broken. Nobody’s broken. True liberation comes from acting with compassion.

An effective means of teaching someone how to be more warm and compassionate is to use reasoning about the value and benefits of compassion, having them reflect on how they feel when someone is kind to them. This can prepare them to be warmer and more compassionate to others.

How to experience an emotion as a wave:
1. Step back and notice it.
2. Let it flow, knowing that it will ebb.
3. Don't fight, block, or hold onto it.
4. If you must do something with it, breathe into it.
