QUOTES:

“Let lightness in, and let your body register it.”

“When the mind settles, when the body settles, and there’s a deeper sense of landing, there’s a way that the thinking mind becomes quiet and the topic of freedom doesn’t come up.”

“Practice can be challenging at different points along the journey. It’s often the challenges that bear a lot of fruit, but sometimes it’s hard to imagine those fruits when you’re in the middle of a challenge.”

“Isn’t it interesting that the doubt that says ‘I’m not good enough for the truth’ is the same doubt that wants the truth?”

“A willingness to not know puts you right in that sweet spot where you know what you need to know.”

“If you feel a contraction pulling in, it’s like the body is saying: ‘Come in here. Bring your attention here.’”

“Things may arise. If possible, see if you can see them from the 'you'—the essential you that is not defined by the narratives, is not defined by the past.”

“Inquiry can take you on a journey, and it’s a journey of the questioner sensing the question.”

Recorded in Watsonville, California on May 11-16, 2025.
