Surrender and Integration

TEACHER: James
THEME: Surrender and Integration
MEDITATION: Sweet valley high OR Who says the 401’s no fun?
GROUP PRACTICE:  Holding on, letting go

There will be times, in your practice, whatever it happens to be – yoga, meditation, contact juggling – where breakthroughs happen.  These are exhilarating and memorable times. For many people, it becomes what they seek: rush-ey moments, dripped in dopamine reward. But the real reward comes after the gold rush, in the slow acceptance and integration, the long flats that get fuller and richer with time. For this meditation, we let go. Nowhere to get to – drop into cruising speed, surrendering to that feeling of peace, Tim Hortons’ flickering by, Montreal hours away. We learn to love the journey, because there ain’t no thing but that.
