A note from Sean
I left the monastery because of a question. What would I tell my kids, and their grandkids, about what I did while the climate was changing? Was I part of the solution or part of the problem? I wanted to help, and I thought teaching mindfulness might be one way.
Try this today. Go outside for five minutes. Sit or stand on the ground if you can, and feel your weight being held. Then choose one small thing that leaves a place a little better than you found it, and do it. Notice how your body feels afterward.
Keep going: how to practice mindfulness in nature and Earth descent meditation.
This talk suits anyone asking what their life is for. If the state of the world feels heavy, go gently. Take it in small pieces and stop when you need to.
