Coming Home to Our Senses

Along the path of dharma practice we make it a habit to connect to the truth of each moment as experienced in the body and through all the senses. By doing so, we can effectively reduce anxiety and confusion, making room for peace and joy.  Meditation can also help balance our nervous system, moving us from fight, flight or freeze to rest and digest. This is profoundly healing. Not only do we learn to notice the habit of getting lost in troubled thinking, we practice creating a whole new relationship to your thoughts.

Gullu explores Vendana (Hedonic Tone) which is a central and vital Buddhist teaching and the speaks about the Sallata Sutta which explores how we make our suffering worse with resistance, seeking pleasure to cover over the pain, and over-identifying with pain.
