07.31.23 - Morning Meditation + That New News

Hello hello hello!

We've got a lot to talk about today, but first thing's first: we've got a brand new meditation this morning.

Today, we talk about stories. It's a topic I think of often when I find myself getting a bit lost in what's happening. This quote from Michael Stone sums up a lot of it:

"Sometimes things are so hard and then we add to it this story that things are so hard. And there's like a double difficulty: not only are things hard, but now you're telling yourself how hard everything is."

We can ease the journey a little if we're able to see the stories we build and allow them to fall away.

The New News

There have been a lot of ups and downs the last few months, but one thing that I've discovered that has stuck with me: how important consistency in meditation practice truly is. This is not a new idea, of course, but something that's been at the forefront for me lately. I know I have not been my most consistent here, but I've recently started experimenting with something that has inspired me to change how we're doing things.

What I'd like to offer is the following: daily meditations delivered each morning. We've played around with other schedules for the sake of reaching different moments, but I don't think that's worked out well. Meditations will still vary in length and theme. There will still be some popped in from the archive, but what I am hoping for is consistency for all of us. You can always take the meditations whenever you want throughout the day, but I hope you do engage with them every day at some time. You'll also be seeing the return of live meditations very soon.

I want to spend more time here and offer more things for you in terms of resources (including an updated archive!), so you're also going to see the structure of the membership plans change to both assist with ever-increasing costss and also to open up the possibility of providing more. I am still dedicated to keeping things accessible and so if you'd like to subscribe to a tier and have any need for a sliding scale or other option, please simply ask. The free option will always be a thing, but I think the extras are worth it.

Folks with active paid subscriptions will not see any changes, but have the options to change at any time. If you've paid for a year ahead, please reach out if you'd like to make a change.

Extra New News

Get ready because in September, we're doing the 30 Day Sit. While August is bringing us consistency, September is going to bring us some deeper explorations to play around with.

I hope you'll be here for all of it.

Let me know if you have any questions. As always, I'm so grateful that you're here.
