Hi Everyone,
I have just returned from a three-week silent retreat. On the way home I had to stop at Whole Foods (the Sunday before Thanksgiving). It was a frenzy in the midst of an almost obscene abundance. And there I was, two hours after leaving the retreat!

Our practice of training the brain deeply supports training the mind but it’s not the same thing. Both are needed. Deep breathing (and I think mindful breathing as well) does quiet the PAG, the threat detector so overworked in those with childhood abuse and neglect. So breathe.
The holidays we are heading into all intend to celebrate the coming of the light. Let’s go into them mindfully, brain-fully, quietly, and deeply enjoy our celebration of being on this terribly precious earth together in such an important time.
With love and gratitude to all of you,
Sebern
