Tightrope

Mind’s influence is subtle 
Consciousness is a filter

Deep attachment to the body
Deep aversion to aging, illness, death
Am I lovable?

When the bar is high
Deficit is default 
Scarcity mindset prevails

Confronting body changes
Confronting mortality

Anxiety cloud
Another layer to let go

I am enough 
I am worthy
I deserve it

Open up
Remain open
Broaden space between pleasure and pain
Stay in between resistance and clinging 
Middle way

Don’t resist the pain
Face and embrace 
Settle into the eye of the storm
Meditate from the inside out
The body breathes

Not all thoughts are created equal
Develop skillful fabrication

Kitchen body
Chef mind
Concentration food
Drink in the now

Walk the tightrope of a-tension 
No tension no growth
All it takes is pressure and time
