Emptiness practice – spending time with family during holidays

Posted on December 28, 2019 by nomadoftheuniverse

Remember this post? This year I am blessed with family staying over the holidays – paraphrasing Ram Dass, I will uncover my “secret stash” and “burn in the fire, cooking my seeds” 🙂 Normally I would lose my shit at some point. This time the plan is to stay empty and use the following 5 guiding principles (based on Ram Dass’s teachings). What is your plan, if you need one? Have a good one!

    Excellent. Very witty. TBH I always find Christmas a bit of a struggle. Bit tricky to practice silence and emptiness in a house full of my wife’s relatives!

      It’s the inner emptiness, Anthony 😉 You can be surrounded by people and their melodrama and be empty to all of it, yet full of “the right stuff”. It is hard to explain and even harder to do!

    I appreciate this post. One thing I recently learned that may be part of the emptiness practice is a sentence/mantra I keep in my head:
    “All connections generated between us is now complete forever more.”
    Thanks!
