Short practices for a nervous system that has been running for months, on Insight Timer. Released in seasons, a new one every Wednesday. Season one starts 4 November.
Ask yourself what you want this month to feel like, rather than what you want to achieve. A few minutes, and most of it is practice rather than talking about practice.
Season one is eight short practices, one each Wednesday from 4 November. Each season walks the same eight steps of Pathway to Peace, explained a new way each time. This one lands in the season of invitations, gatherings and comparison, so every practice is for the moment the old voice says you are not enough. The next three:
For the season of invitations. The work party, the dinner, the room where everyone seems further ahead. Settle your body before the door opens, and arrive just as you are.
For when the story is running faster than you are. Sighing and orienting, two things your body already knows how to do, done on purpose.
The old file, louder at the end of the year. Not an argument with it. A practice for hearing it and choosing not to pay what it asks.
Arriving as you are, putting down what was never yours, setting an intention your body will keep. Doing them alone is a fair test of whether you want to do them with somebody.
That is what Pathway to Peace is. Eight sessions, the same moves done properly with your history in the room rather than a stranger’s voice in your ears.
Curious where the old voice comes from in the first place? The podcast lands every Tuesday. Want one idea to carry through the week? The letter arrives on Mondays.
