For meditation to flourish, it is important to establish the ground for an enjoyable practice. By understanding and cultivating eight fundamental attitudes that transform the way we think about thinking and the way we treat ourselves, we establish a compassionate and wise foundation to sit with our thoughts, feelings and emotions, so we can have a more joyful life.

In this session, we explore non-striving and trust as fundamental attitudes to befriend the mind as they are the effective antidotes against frustration and doubt. Expectations on how the practice should go takes the mind away from the present moment, and lack of confidence in our intuition takes us away from who we truly are.
Learning that ultimately meditation is the art of non-doing allows us to do less and be more!
