Sanctuary

Body is pure sensation
Sensations are product of the mind
When we observe body
We observe mind

Sensitivity varies
By quality of mind
If a tree falls...?
Observe self and it's clear

Shed illusion
Anchor in hereness, reality
Brick by brick
Build a sanctuary in your mind

Breath leads to body awareness
Observe the body through the breath
Observe the body breathe

Breath in for nourishment, vitality, life force
Breath out for healing, simplification, stillness
Savor the breath

Abstain from unskillful foods
Uncertainty
Perceptions and judgements
Control

Absorb skillful foods
Stillness
Reality
Wisdom

Stop seeking peace of mind
Start seeking peace from mind

Stop being ruled by sensations
Dwell in your sanctuary
And be free

Control

Disturbance
Tension
Anxiety
Stress

Chest pounding heartbeats
Skin on scalp creeps
Stomach feels unease
Hard to sleep

Fear of
Uncertainty
Insecurity
Isolation
Instability

Conflict

Addicted to
Perceptions
Approvals
Control

With control nowhere to be found

Instead
Don't catastrophize
Seek context
Your little problem isn't the end
Don't waste life being anxious or depressed
About what will never happen
Or isn't real

It's nothing personal
Not everyone must like
Or respect you
At all times

Don’t consume unskillful foods
No one can take your inner sanctuary
Keep faith in the Path

Let it go
Take it day by day
Keep it moving
Don't focus on uncertainty
Stay confident
Don't second guess yourself

Control is an illusion
