Unperturbed

Why am I here?
What should I do?
On this cushion

In all directions 
There is resistance 

Recursive attachments
Overwhelm

To shed fear of failure
Decondition perceptions, expectations, comparisons

Bad meditation 
Deepens clinging
Good meditation
Deepens skill

Food eaten
Impacts thoughts thought 
Consume (wholesome) concentration

Zero yourself out
Flush the stress
Step into the discomfort

Lean back
With patience and persistence 
There’s peace through the turmoil

Quiet mind
Can do root cause analysis

New wirings
From compost of old
Experiences vary logarithmically
Keep chipping away

Maintain continuity of awareness 
On the outbreath

Aim concentration 
At the center of the body 

Rooted to the earth
Anchored in space time
Tighten the aperture
Remain in the slot
Where body is ambiguous

Body is energy
Wave and mist
Feel the cosmic wind
Discover the subtle pleasure

You fear defeat
Because you’re attached to victory
Do your duty
Indifferent to victory or defeat
There's no question of happiness or sorrow
The mind is unperturbed 
This is karma yoga
